Laws in Maryland, Ohio, Fla., or anywhere else, do not make a bb gun the cause or the result of abuse or neglect. That is a decision the parents make, not some mandate. If it looked like a 22 semiautomatic, or was a 22, still nobody's business except the parents. Mandated reporters are spies...Unless you know the laws of Maryland you dont know that. Also you cant always tell a BB gun from a real one on a conference call. I have one that looks exactly like a Glock. You literally have to check to see if you can rack it.Yeah there is. My wife is a mandated reporter."The school official that called this in should be fired."This is where people need to say "screw off, get a warrant". And then let them know the lawsuits will fly when they find nothing.
The school official that called this in should be fired.
Probably a mandated reporter. If they hadnt called it in it would have been their job.
There are no such requirements.
" Mandated reporters are individuals who are mandated by law to report known or suspected child maltreatment. They are primarily people who have contact with children through their employment. Mandated reporters are required by the state of California to report any known or suspected instances of child abuse or neglect to the county child welfare department or to a local law enforcement agency (local police/sheriff’s department). "
If that was an actual weapon it would fall under neglect.
Then someone needs to educate the mandated reporters as to what maltreatment is. It is nether maltreatment, abuse or neglect for a kid to own a bb gun...
