What it does
Under existing law, any person who has assumed full or intermittent responsibility for the care or custody of an elder or dependent adult, is a mandated reporter. Under existing law, any mandated reporter who has observed or has knowledge of an incident that reasonably appears to be physical abuse, abandonment, abduction, isolation, financial abuse, or neglect, or is told by an elder or dependent adult that he or she has experienced these behaviors, is required to report the abuse immediately or as soon as practicably possible. The failure to report on the part of a mandated reporter is a crime.
