A mandated reporter should only report child abuse after they have investaged the concern and determined that abused or neglect has occured?

Answer 1

Answer:

A mandated reporter should only report child abuse after they have investigated the concern and determined that abuse or neglect has occurred is a TRUE statement.

Explanation:

• In many cases of child abuse or neglect, there is no physical or tangible proof/evidence available to prove that any abuse or neglect has happened. But from the statement recorded by the child or from his/her mental condition, the abuse or neglect is surfaced.
• Hence, the investigator or the mandated reporter are not forced to produce any proof of the neglect or abuse caused to the child.
