Two teachers at Centennial High School in Peoria, Arizona, face accusations of sexual abuse, but no arrests or charges yet. The Maricopa County Attorneys office is investigating, with potential charges coming soon. The case highlights a breakdown in mandatory reporting rules, as the school principal and boys mother knew about the claims before reporting. Arizona law requires anyone working with kids to report suspected abuse immediately, but many hesitate. The county attorneys office has filed seven cases for reporting failures since 2023. A new law expands who counts as a mandatory reporter and emphasizes direct reporting to police or child services.
