North Carolina State Law
requires that any person who has
cause to suspect that a child is
being abused or neglected is
required by law to report this
situation to the County
Department of Social Services in
which the child lives or is
found. North Carolina also
provides immunity from civil
liability and criminal penalty
for mandated reporters who
report in good faith. A child
abuse report is a request for an
investigation to ensure that
children are safe and healthy.
