565.184. (2021). Missouri Revisor of Statutes. https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=565.184]]> 2021-09-14 15:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mkh6352/6ezow554ysnr6g7w/wish/1739978972 A Brief Summary mkh6352 https://padlet.com/mkh6352/6ezow554ysnr6g7w/wish/1739986300 Persons in official employment of a medical institution, school facility, or other agency are required to report any suspicions of child abuse or neglect to superiors. From there reports must be filed correctly, and provide all required information. Keep in mind that reporters are not investigators. If there are physical injuries, photographs are taken and forwarded to the Children’s Division.
Further, if physicians, or law enforcement officials, believe a child's experiencing danger via their environment, requests are made to take the child into protective custody. Evidence of sexual abuse, or molestation, must be reported to the Children’s Division within twenty-four hours. An important note is that provider-patient confidentiality privilege doesn't apply to any situations involving forms of abuse. Any mandated reporter that violates these provisions, or fails to report abuse, is guilty of a Class A Misdemeanor and subject to fines and/or jail time in the state of Missouri.
