In most states in the united states Yes this person would be a mandated reporter. If they are mandated they are required to report. However laws do differ. If you live in the United States try looking up mandated reporter laws for your state.

Yes, any employee of a health care facility is required to report alleged or known abuse..  His title/ position should morally make him responsible to help that child...  Pezzy
