A report shall be made to the Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee. To be considered a report to the Commissioner or designee, it shall contain the name and address of the reporter as well as the names and addresses of the vulnerable adult and persons responsible for the vulnerable adult's care, if known; the age of the vulnerable adult; the nature of the vulnerable adult's disability; the nature and extent of the vulnerable adult's abuse, neglect, or exploitation together with any evidence of previous abuse, neglect, or exploitation of the vulnerable adult; and any other information that the reporter believes might be helpful in establishing the cause of any injuries or reasons for the abuse, neglect, or exploitation as well as in protecting the vulnerable adult. If the reporter is in possession of documentation that establishes the alleged victim's conditions, needs, or services, that shall be included in the report. Any evidence of maltreatment shall also be cited in the report. If a report of abuse, neglect, or exploitation involves the acts or omissions of the Commissioner or employees of the Department, then such reports shall be directed to the Secretary of Human Services, who shall cause the report to be investigated by appropriate staff other than staff of the Department.
