We Are...
committed to addressing child abuse in our community

Each year thousands of children are abused in Pennsylvania; however, only a small percentage of that abuse is reported to appropriate authorities. Protecting children is the responsibility of us all. Anybody who suspects that a child is being hurt should report that suspicion.

In this lesson, we will learn about the Pennsylvania law that protects children, we will explore the Penn State policies around child abuse and we will examine our responsibility as an employee or Authorized Adult to report child abuse, as well as the penalties for failing to report.
