True or False: A non-mandated reporter may face penalties for failing to report suspected child maltreatment.

True
False
Depends on the situation
Only if the reporter is a teacher

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false. Non-mandated reporters are typically individuals who are not legally required to report suspected child maltreatment, such as friends, neighbors, or other community members. While they may have a moral or ethical obligation to report their concerns, they do not face legal penalties for failing to do so. In contrast, mandated reporters, which include professionals like teachers, doctors, and social workers, are required by law to report any suspicions of child maltreatment and can face legal consequences if they fail to fulfill this duty. The distinction between mandated and non-mandated reporters is crucial in understanding the legal framework surrounding child protection.
