question 1

as a mandated reporter, whenever you encounter a family in crisis you are legally required to call the scr.

true
false

Explanation:

Define mandated reporting criteria

Mandated reporters are legally required to report to the State Central Register (SCR) only when they have reasonable cause to suspect child abuse or maltreatment.

Analyze the term "family in crisis"

A "family in crisis" (such as experiencing poverty, homelessness, or temporary situational stress) does not automatically equate to child abuse or neglect.

Determine legal reporting obligations

While a crisis may require supportive services or community resources, a legal report to the SCR is not mandated unless there is suspected abuse or neglect. Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer:

• True
• False (Correct answer)
