All individuals who work with children are mandated by Georgia law to report suspected child abuse or neglect. We are providing a link to the mandated reporter handbook for Sope Creek personnel. Child abuse is preventable, and a key aspect of prevention is to provide support and assistance to families experiencing stress. The handbook includes danger signs of abuse and neglect, what to do if a child discloses, and factors that may lead to abuse or neglect.
