Any advice on how to handle a situation where a parent wants to sue a teacher who reported them to child protective services? My understanding is the parent has no grounds for a lawsuit due to mandated reporter laws. Is this true?

That’s. True, just be. Careful 😊

In California at least much heavier penalties if you don't report even the merest suspicion of abuse. Parents have no grounds to sue you form acting a mandated reporter. They are games playing. You are completely protected. I am more concerned that CPS gave your name to the parents. This needs to be dealt with.

Yes. Check with your Special Education Department at state level or your District unit.

All of the district administration have said the teacher did nothing wrong and that the mandated reporter laws protect the teacher.

Ignore it. If it escalates, talk to district lawyers. But the teacher was following the law AND those reports are supposed tobe anonymous for a reason...

... District lawyers, or the teachers union may also provide protection.

How did they find out? They can’t tell
Who reported in Illinois.

Sorry you are going through this.

How did they know a teacher reported. Suppose to be confidential?

Before a teacher comes to a final step, I am sure that teacher would not want to just jump into conclusion. There must be a systematic documentation to come up to a final decision making. IDEA, Teacher’s Union, the 14th Amendment should be able to provide a legal ground for that teacher.

The parent only has standing if a fictional charge made to harass the parent. If the reporting was legit, mandated reporters are protected.

Teachers are mandatory reporters. No grounds for sueing. In fact there is a greater risk of job jepardy from not reporting.

YES YES YES!

Yes, by law you have to report it. You’re protected, even if you don’t have proof, but suspect. However, if you don’t report your suspicions, you can be prosecuted if it’s found you suspected/knew something and never reported it. You did what you were supposed to & should be fine.

If you have a fleeting thought which leans you to call on neglect/abuse/etc...please call

We are mandated reporters and she can threaten all she wants!! Won’t fly!!

You are immune. Let them try. You are a mandated reporter protected by law. Don’t even worry a moment.

Tell them to sue! Empower them. They’ll get nowhere fast!
