child abuse and neglect reporting statute

child-abuse and -neglect reporting statute. Family law. A state law requiring certain persons, among them healthcare providers, teachers, and child-care workers, to report suspected child abuse. • By 1967, every state had adopted some form of reporting statute. In the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (42 USCA §§ 5101–5157), Congress provided federal funding for all states that implement federal standards in their reporting statutes and defined child maltreatment broadly.
