If you are a mandated provider you have a legal obligation to report child abuse to your local social services agency(CPS). The first thing is to call and talk to a social worker, but your next step is to fill out the proper form within 48 hours after your call. A mandated provider is a teacher, nurse, daycare provider, doctor. If a report is not done the provider can be arrested for not reporting the abuse and telling a supervisor doesn't count. If you are not a mandated provider you can call CPS on your own and talk with a social worker. You will be required to write out why you think there is child abuse on the forms they will provide.
