Did You Know: Who is a mandated reporter? -
A mandated reporter is someone who is required to report suspected or disclosed cases of abuse to child protective services or law enforcement including a wide range of persons from teachers, educators, coaches, to school and parish staff, and clergy. The mandated report may involve concerns about possible abuse or neglect in the child’s home or by a family member. At a school or parish, if the person making a report believes that child abuse or neglect is the case, then the person should make the report to the local law enforcement agency, which has the resources and ability to intervene immediately if needed. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles urges all in our church to speak up to the appropriate authorities if any form of child abuse is suspected.

¿Sabia Que? ¿Quién es un informante obligatorio? -
Los informantes obligatorios incluyen a maestros, educadores, entrenadores, y empleados de escuelas y miembros del clero. Un informe obligatorio puede incluir inquietudes sobre posibles abusos o negligencia en el hogar del niño o por parte de un miembro de la familia. En una escuela o parroquia, si la persona que realiza la denuncia cree que se trata de un caso de abuso o negligencia infantil, debe informar a la policía local que tiene los recursos y la capacidad para intervenir de forma inmediata si es necesario. La Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles urge a todos en nuestra iglesia a hablar con las autoridades correspondientes si se sospecha alguna forma de abuso infantil. Para más información sobre los informantes obligatorios lea el artículo en inglés de VIRTUS®
