The consequences for failing to report suspected child abuse or neglect in Michigan can be serious. Mandated reporters who fail to make a report can face criminal charges and fines, as well as disciplinary action from their professional licensing boards. Additionally, failure to report can result in ongoing harm to the child, including physical and emotional trauma, and can lead to legal liability for the mandated reporter if the child is later found to have been abused or neglected. If you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected, it is essential that you report it immediately to Child Protective Services or law enforcement. If you are a mandated reporter and have questions about your legal obligations or how to make a report, contact Marko Law Firm for guidance and support.
