there is a law in NYState called Xstacy’s law that obligates mandated reporters to report second hand information. and to report child abuse and maltreatment for investigation when they suspect abuse even if they are off the clock. This would mandate MorahRach to report the family. There really is no reason to wait. A call can be made by anyone who knows the name or address of the individuals that you cite. This situation seems extreme and needs intervention.
There are real problems in this family and the lack of calling in reports is as serious. Mandated reports can be sued, placed in ‘jail or fined if they knew and did not report. If something serious happens, possible death or serious injury to a child and MorahRach knew, MorahRach is liable. it is rarely used but in these fragile times of Penn State and DA Hynes, I would not take any risk..
a family member or someone can report for you. I understand your fear but my fear for the children are greater. If something serious happens, you will always know you could have acted.
