Under state law, a person may be immune from liability for reporting in good faith. The identity of the person making the report is confidential pursuant to Penal Code 11167(d).NON-emergent Child Abuse Reporting
CARES Reporting System is for Mandated Reporters who work in Education to report online without calling the hotline on this website: https://mandreptla.org/cars.web/
This reporting system has been provided for your convenience to report non-emergent suspected child abuse and neglect that has occurred in Los Angeles County. It may take up to 24 hours to process suspected abuse and neglect reports made through this online reporting system.
If you are using CARES reporting System for the fist time, create a NEW Non-LA County Employee Registration with your district email. You will see a prompt like this:
