further understand that I may, but am not required to, report suspected Emotional
Abuse.

telephone report. I must follow up with a written report within 36 hours. This
report may be made to local law enforcement, or County Sheriffs Department;
Probation Department or Child M/elfare Agency. (Cal Pen. Code 11166(a)).

reasonably suspected. (Cal Pen. Code 11167.5)

harassed for making a mandated report of reasonably suspected child abuse.

Mandated Reporting laws and ]' can be held criminally liable for failing to
report suspected abuse. Tile penalty for this is up to six months in County jail, a
fine of not more than $1000, or both. I further understand I could be civilly liable
for failure to report. (Cal. Pen. Code 1 1 166(c)).
I have been provided with a copy, via email, of California Penal Code sections 111.64-
11174.3 (Mandated Reporter Law).
