were reported as being victims of child abuse or neglect, and

neglect;

report child abuse and neglect, every adult who suspects or
knows about child abuse or neglect has a moral duty to report
such concerns to the appropriate authorities; and

individuals that State law establishes as mandated reporters
will protect children and ensure greater consistency among the

reporters.
