The desire to protect children from abuse, both sexual
and physical, has led many states to designate certain classes of people
as mandatory reporters, even threatening them with jail time if they
fail to report abuse.
These laws vary from state to state in terms of who are listed as mandatory reporters and what they are required to report. Mandatory reporters have included teachers, nurses, doctors, child welfare officials and police. Even psychologists and psychiatrists, who normally must respect the confidentiality of what they are told by their patients, have sometimes been covered.
