A mandated reporter should only report child abuse after they have investigated the concern and determined that abuse or neglect has occurred is a TRUE statement.

Explanation:

In many cases of child abuse or neglect, there is no physical or tangible proof/evidence available to prove that any abuse or neglect has happened. But from the statement recorded by the child or from his/her mental condition, the abuse or neglect is surfaced. Hence, the investigator or the mandated reporter are not forced to produce any proof of the neglect or abuse caused to the child.
