Where must a mandated reporter report incidents of abuse of an adult living in a licensed facility?

The correct choice emphasizes the specific requirements for mandated reporters regarding where to report incidents of abuse involving adults living in licensed facilities. The Community Care Licensing (CCL) and regional center are designated bodies tasked with overseeing the welfare of individuals in such facilities. Reporting to these organizations ensures that incidents are officially documented and investigated by authorities that have the capacity and responsibility to address allegations of abuse.

When mandated reporters fulfill their obligations by reporting to CCL and the regional center, they help to protect vulnerable individuals by ensuring that the appropriate agencies are informed and can take necessary actions. These agencies are equipped to provide oversight and enforcement of regulations that safeguard the rights and safety of those in licensed care.

In contrast, reporting to a local radio or TV station does not facilitate any legal or protective measures for the individuals involved and does not fulfill the mandated reporter's legal obligations. Similarly, notifying a family administrator or calling 911 may not guarantee that the abuse is properly recorded or investigated within the context of the facility's oversight. While informing a doctor or hospital could be relevant in a medical emergency, it does not encompass the legal responsibilities tied to reporting abuse in a licensed facility specifically.
