I am sick  and tired of people  who believe and make statements based on what the law says,  Get real and wake up.  I hate to pop your bubble, but just because the law says doesn't mean it is followed. CPS is way over worked, and they are NOT notified of every case of child abused.  Mandatory reporters, do not always report because of the fear of ridicule or worse the family making a complaint in which the reporters administration do not support the reporting, being the schools or hospitals or what ever. It takes courage and the knowledge of support in making the abuse complaint, both at times are lacking.  Administrators take the easy way out and put their head in the sand rather that  taking a stand. All are afraid of liability and need protection in the arena of liability and bosses who back up the complaint. This won't happen because of the fear of sticking ones neck out jeopardizes advancement. Please don't make comments unless you have been involved or are involved in these cases
