Who is mandated to report child abuse or neglect under Michigan law?

Under Michigan law, certain professionals are considered "mandated reporters" and are required to report suspected child abuse or neglect. These include doctors, nurses, social workers, teachers, school counselors, law enforcement officers, and child care providers. Other professionals who work with children, such as coaches, youth organization leaders, and clergy members, are also required to report suspected abuse or neglect. Additionally, any person who has reason to believe that a child is being abused or neglected may make a report to Child Protective Services or law enforcement. Failure to report suspected child abuse or neglect is a misdemeanor offense under Michigan law.
