They don't report a lot of things that they should report, which is why public schools contribute to the problems.

My wife is a teacher at a large school.
She is a mandatory reporter, and does her duty. But I know of one student who was a cutter, made my wife think they were going to be suicidal, and whose parents had reached out for help AS HAD THE STUDENT.
They had an appointment six months in the future. Kid tried to kill themself (trying to sanitize it for details), and it was not good.
Why? There are so many people who need help, so few resources, and it burns the practitioners out like candles.
Covid made everything worse.
There are a lot of mentally ill people running around. More than most realize.
