Where can I find obligations of a health care worker that suspects child abuse?
I am doing a research paper due on Thursday about the moral, legal and ethical obligations a health care worker has in reporting suspected child abuse encountered in their practice. Is there a website that I can go to for this info?

Call your local public defender's office - they should be able to give you a link. In a nutshell - in all 50 states, licensed health care workers are mandated reporters - whether they're a personal care assistant, a lab tech, an x-ray tech, an LPN/LVN, a physician's assistant, a nurse, a physician...the law says they WILL report any such suspicions.
