pretty much every state has laws making anyone whose profession brings them into regular contact with a vulnerable population (young children, elderly, disabled) mandated reporters of suspected abuse.

it's not a crime to observe abuse and not report it unless you fall into that category.

like you said. talking criminality, not morality.
