LANSING (AP) — Physical and occupational therapists and athletic trainers will now be required to report suspected child abuse or neglect under a new Michigan law that follows the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal.

Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer this week signed the legislation, which comes more than four years after Nassar, a former sports doctor who treated athletes at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, was sentenced to a virtual life sentence for his conviction on child pornography charges and sexually abusing athletes.

During victim impact statements in 2018, several athletes testified that over the course of Nassar’s more than two decades of sexual abuse they had told adults what was happening, including coaches and athletic trainers, and it went unreported.

The therapists and trainers join other professionals previously required to report their suspicions or knowledge of abuse, which include medical doctors, nurses, social workers, teachers, school administrators, family therapists and school counselors.

Anyone can report to Children’s Protective Services if they believe a child is being abused or neglected, but the new legislation adds physical and occupational therapists, athletic trainers and physical therapist assistants to those professionals required to do so.
