Child Abuse and Neglect
Nevada statutes require school authorities, school teachers, and others to report to Nevada State Welfare or to law enforcement agencies any suspected case of child abuse or neglect. Immunity from civil or criminal liability is provided under the law to those making such reports.

Nevada statutes define child abuse and neglect as “physical or mental injury of a non-accidental nature, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, or negligent treatment or maltreatment of a child under the age of 18 years by a person who is responsible for the child’s welfare under circumstances which indicate that the child’s health or welfare is harmed or threatened thereby.”
