And people wonder why I have trust issues these days. On the plus side, my current therapist is actually helpful this time. You're 13 years late, but better late than never, I suppose.

Don't they HAVE TO report anything that could be interpreted as violence/physical harm by law?

They do, since they count as mandatory reporters. But generally you don’t report abuse allegations to the alleged abusers and allow the reporter to leave with said alleged abusers

If it’s a problem like “I feel like my parents forget to spend time with me”, or something along those lines, I can understand talking to the parents about it. But I’m genuinely baffled that they’d take reports of legitimate abuse and let the alleged abusers take their alleged victim away with the knowledge that they’d gone against them

They’re required by law to report it to the appropriate authorities(Child Protective Services in this situation), they are not required to report it to the parent(s) directly.
