[Michlib-l] CPS reporting question

[Kat Boyer]

Hi everyone,

I just had a rather distubring conversation with a patron who was telling
me that his nephews called him at 1 am last night to tell him that they
were home alone and in the car of a 10 year was was left with them and a 1
year old infant.  The patron told me that there were no adults in the home
at the time of the call and that the mothers of the children were
unreachable.

At what point are we compelled to call CPS if we hear information like
this?  I am not sure if I am required to report, if I should report, or if
I should encourage my patron to report this information.
