Child Abuse and/or Neglect
CHILD ABUSE AND/OR NEGLECT
The Code of Nebraska requires all school employees to report suspected child abuse or willful neglect. Reporting shall be both written and orally to the Child Abuse Center of the local Department of Public Welfare. If there is reason to believe that immediate protection for the child is advisable, an oral report shall also be made to any appropriate law enforcement agency. Anyone participating in good faith in these procedures shall have immunity from any liability, civil or criminal. Laws providing communication shall not apply in cases of suspected child abuse or neglect. Any school employee who knowingly and willfully fails to report suspected child abuse is guilty of a misdemeanor.
