Mandated Reporters Face Legal Fallout | Bakersfield News

In Delano, school counselor Natalie Renee Fragoso faces misdemeanor charges for allegedly failing to report a violent incident on a Grad Night bus ride in 2023, where an 18-year-old male allegedly choked and threatened to release private videos of a 17-year-old female. Fragoso claimed she wasn’t present and believed the students were exaggerating. Meanwhile, Tehachapi district administrator Dr. Roxane Michelle Romero is also charged with failing to report abuse by a teacher, Timothy Seaman, whose felony charges remain active after a parent’s tip. Both cases underscore the high stakes and heavy responsibility placed on mandated reporters when trust is broken.
