Exhibit C
NOTICE OF CHILD ABUSE REPORTING LAW
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that Penal Code section 11166 and the
contractual obligations between County of Fresno (COUNTY) and
Aspiranet, Inc. related to provision of emergency shelter care services for COUNTY's
dependent children, requires that the undersigned report all known or suspected child
abuse or neglect to one or more of the agencies set forth in Penal Code (P.C.) section(§)
11165.9.
For purposes of the undersigned's child abuse reporting requirements, "child
abuse or neglect" includes physical injury inflicted by other than accidental means upon a
child by another person, sexual abuse as defined in P.C. §11165.1, neglect as defined in
P.C. §11165.2, willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment as defined in P.C. §11165.3,
and unlawful corporal punishment or injury as defined in P.C. §11165.4.
A child abuse report shall be made whenever the undersigned, in his or her
professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or
observes a child whom the undersigned knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim
of child abuse or neglect. (P.0 §11166.) The child abuse report shall be made to any
police department or sheriff's department(not including a school district police or
security department), or to any county welfare department, including Fresno County
Department of Social Services' 24 Hour CARELINE. (See PC §11165.9.)
For purposes of child abuse reporting, a"reasonable suspicion" means that it is
objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a suspicion, based upon facts that could
cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her
training and experience,to suspect child abuse or neglect. The pregnancy of a child does
not, in and of itself, constitute a basis for reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse. (P.C.
§I 1166(a)(1).)
Substantial penalties may be imposed for failure to comply with these child abuse
reporting requirements.
Further information and a copy of the law may be obtained from the department
head or designee.
I have read and understand the above statement and agree to comply with the
child abuse reporting requirements.
