FAQ
You may also call our 24-hour reporting line at: 651-582-8546. Minnesota state law requires mandated reporters who suspect maltreatment to file a report within 24 hours. Maltreatment includes physical abuse, neglect, mental injury and sexual abuse.
All school staff are defined as mandated reporters in Minnesota, meaning they are legally required to report any suspected cases of child abuse, vulnerable adult abuse (for students 18-21), or neglect to the appropriate authorities.
Maltreatment means abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation as defined below: Abuse is physical, emotional, or sexual (MS 656.5572, subd. 2) Neglect is the failure to provide for food, clothing, shelter, medical care and/or supervision (MS 626.5572, subd. 17)
Corporal punishment not allowed. An employee or agent of a district shall not inflict corporal punishment or cause corporal punishment to be inflicted upon a pupil to reform unacceptable conduct or as a penalty for unacceptable conduct.
Call your state's CPS report line or submit an anonymous report. Child abuse is handled at a state level rather than a federal one, so you'll need to contact the phone number associated with your state. Some states also have specific emails or websites that you can use to make your report.
If you know or have reason to believe a child is being or has been neglected or physically or sexually abused within the preceding three years you must immediately (within 24 hours) make a report to an outside agency. If you know or suspect that a child is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1.
1003.32, corporal punishment of a public school student may only be administered by a teacher or school principal within guidelines of the school principal and ing to district school board policy. Another adult must be present and must be informed in the student's presence of the reason for the punishment.
In 2004 (Canadian Foundation for Children, Youth and the Law v. Canada), the Supreme Court of Canada outlawed corporal punishment in all schools, public or private. The practice itself had largely been abandoned in the 1970s when parents placed greater scrutiny on the treatment of children at school.
