Office of General Counsel: Mandatory Child Abuse Reporting TrainingKrista Stearns, Assistant General Counsel
10/9/2015
36
Legislative Purpose
• It remains the state’s policy that all citizens have a responsibility to prevent
abuse and protect children.
• The statute encourages voluntary reporting in situations in which reporting
is not required.
Who must report?
What do you report?
When must you report?
How do you report?
Where do you report?
10/9/2015
37
Who Must Report•• As of January 1, 2013, all PSU faculty and staff are mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse under Oregon statute. ORS 419B.010 et seq.
• Who is not a mandatory reporter under this definition?
◊ Volunteers (unless required by separate PSU Policy)◊ Contractors◊ Students Who Are Not Employees
(unless required by separate PSU Policy)
What to Report
Mandatory reporters must immediately report where there is “reasonable cause to believe”
that:
•any child with whom you have come into contacthas suffered abuse
•any person with whom you have come into contactwith has abused a child.
OR
10/9/2015
38
What to Report
• You do not need to prove abuse occurred. You are only reporting what you have observed or caused you to have cause to believe that a child was abused.
• The law exempts from the definition of abuse “reasonable discipline,” unless that discipline results in one of the conditions described as abuse elsewhere in statute.
Names and address of parent and child
Child’s gender and age
The type and extent of suspected abuse
Any other information that will help establish the cause of abuse or identify the abuser
Do not confront the suspected abuser!
10/9/2015
39
Definitions and Descriptions for What to Report
Child
•A “child” means an unmarried person who is under 18 years of age.
•This means that some PSU students qualify under this definition and are covered by the mandatory reporting law.
10/9/2015
40
Reasonable Cause to Believe
DHS advice is to report any “reasonable suspicion” of abuse.
“Reasonable suspicion” is more than a hunch. It means the ability to point to specific facts based upon all of the
circumstances.
Come Into Contact With
The contact does not need to be linked to the abuse.
The contact can be either before or after you learn of or suspect the abuse.
There is no statutory definition of what this means. The contact could even be indirect contact.
10/9/2015
41
assault of a child and any physical injury which has been caused by other than accidental means, including any injury that appears to be at variance with the explanation given for the injury
mental injury to a child which shall include only observable and substantial impairment of the child’s mental or psychological ability to function caused by cruelty with due regard to the culture of the child
rape, which also includes sodomy, unlawful sexual penetration and incest
sexual abuse and exploitation of a child
Abuse
negligent treatment or maltreatment, including failure to provide adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medical care that is likely to endanger the health or welfare of the child
threatened harm to a child, which means subjecting a child to a substantial risk of harm to the child’s health or welfare
buying or selling a person under 18 years of age
Abuse, continued
10/9/2015
42
When to Report
•• This is a personal obligation and goes beyond the work place and imposes a duty to immediately report.
• This means you are a mandatory child abuse reporter 24/7.
• You are required to report suspected child abuse anytime, anywhere.
How to Report
•• Your report must be an oral report by telephone or otherwise.
•• This means that a report by email or fax does not satisfy the reporting requirement.
10/9/2015
43
Where to Report
• To the local office of the Department of Human Services (or to designee of the department).
• To a law enforcement agency within the county where the person making the report is located at the time of the contact.
Where to Report
If the suspected abuse is related to a PSU program, activity, service, or involves a PSU employee, you must also inform your supervisor of the report of suspected abuse or contact Human Resources and inform them of the report.
10/9/2015
44
A written report does not satisfy the reporting
statute.
Reports must be made immediately upon
coming in contact with child or person
suspected of abuse
The focus is on the county where the
person is located at the time of the contact.
NOTE: This county may not be Multnomah
County as this is a 24/7 duty.
More on your statutory duties are found in ORS
419B.005 et seq.

45
Phone numbers for reporting
CPSO: 503.725.4407 (non‐emergency number)
Our preference that you report suspected abuse on campus to our CPSO, but there is no requirement to do so.
In general, you can report to the office of Department of Human Services, or to a local police department, a county sheriff, a county juvenile department, or the Oregon State police. If there is an emergency, call 9‐1‐1 and do not insert yourself into a dangerous situation.
Confidentiality andImmunity
10/9/2015
46
Reports are Confidential•• A reporter’s identity will remain confidential to the full extent allowed by law.
•• In general, this means that if a court action is initiated, you could be called as a witness or that a court may order your name be disclosed.
•• Typically, only people with first‐hand knowledge would be called as a witness in a court case.
Immunity
•• A reporter enjoys immunity from suit by statute at ORS 419B.025.
• The same immunity applies with respect to participating in any judicial proceeding resulting from such a report.
• Anyone who makes a good faith report and has reasonable grounds for making the report shall have immunity from any liability, civil or criminal.
10/9/2015
47
What if I Don’t Report?
• Failure to report is a Class A criminal violation of the law, subjecting the otherwise mandatory report to a maximum penalty of $2,000.
• Some mandatory reporters have been sued for damages in civil court for failure to report.
• Failure to report is also a violation of PSU policy and can be grounds for discipline up to and including termination of employment.
More Information
• Contact Krista Stearns in the Office of General Counsel for more information or to schedule a presentation to your faculty, staff, and/or student group.
