Abstract:

This Bulletin explains the statutory reporting requirement and related laws and attempts to address some of the primary sources of confusion for health professionals. The North Carolina Juvenile Code includes a provision commonly referred to as the \"Child Abuse Reporting Law,\" that requires anyone who suspects a juvenile is abused or neglected to make a report.
