1Opinion of the Court
GLICKMAN, Associate Judge:
Appellants are school officials who appeal their convictions of having violated the mandatory reporting statute, D.C.Code § 4-1321.02(a) (2001 & Supp.2010), by failing to report suspected child abuse after a student’s parents complained to them that their daughter had been molested at school by other students. Appellants contend that the statute did not require them to report the incident because it did not involve child abuse or neglect on the part of a parent or other caretaker. We agree and, accordingly, we vacate appellants’ convictions.
