Where is it the law that someone is a mandated reporter on a grown adult without disabilities?[/quote]

PP. I would report it. Someone has to. [/quote]

Right, but you do realize "mandated reporter" is a specific legal term that comes with enforceable legal responsibilities, right?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the people saying to report it.  What are they suggesting—you call 911?  They won’t do anything except tell you to tell your friend to make a report.  If they did make a call to the house, it would likely just increase the danger to your friend.  
If your friend is a teen or if the kids are being hit, that’s different.  [/quote]

I am PP who is a mandated reporter. I would report it to county DSS.

Yes, but we are asking about the legal basis for the "mandated" part of the claim. You can encourage people to report, or say that you would, without claiming "mandated" status. That isn't a thing for non-disabled and non-elderly people without children, and children haven't been mentioned in this.
