Title 6 - Child Protective Services
416 - Obligations of Persons Required to Report.

§ 416. Obligations of persons required to report. Any person or
official required to report cases of suspected child abuse and
maltreatment may take or cause to be taken at public expense photographs
of the areas of trauma visible on a child who is subject to a report
and, if medically indicated, cause to be performed a radiological
examination on the child. Any photographs or x-rays taken shall be sent
to the child protective service at the time the written report is sent,
or as soon thereafter as possible. Whenever such person is required to
report under this title in his capacity as a member of the staff of a
medical or other public or private institution, school, facility, or
agency, he shall immediately notify the person in charge of such
institution, school, facility or agency, or his designated agent, who
shall then take or cause to be taken at public expense color photographs
of visible trauma and shall, if medically indicated, cause to be
performed a radiological examination on the child.
