Md. May Strengthen Child Abuse Reporting Laws


ANNAPOLIS Following the child abuse scandal at Penn State, the Maryland General Assembly is moving to "add teeth" to an existing law requiring individuals to report child abuse.
Sen. Nancy Jacobs, R-Harford, is sponsoring a bill to criminalize the failure to report suspected child abuse, making it a misdemeanor with a maximum of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

    Would not failure to report constitute "accessory after the fact" & therefore already be covered by existing law(s)?
