Yes! If a licensed health care worker fails to report such an injury, they could be arrested as an accomplice. If a minor child has been injured and the licensed health care worker even suspects it happened because of criminal behavior, they must report it to the proper authorities.

Why have the mental health-social work fields become increasingly anti-Christian?

----------------------- I think most mental health workers and social workers would be surprised and possibly offended to be considered anti-Christian. These are fields that by their very nature attract some Christians into the professions. What does concern professional mental health workers and social workers is when well-meaning evangelical Christians interfere in the treatment of the mentally ill, for example claiming that their ill-health is the result of demonic possession or the consequence of sin. Mental health workers and social workers have sometimes difficult jobs, and these are not made easier when the bonds of trust between them and their patients are put at risk by unqualified outsiders. This is not being anti-Christian; on the contrary it is being caring about their patients.
