Parents of Santa Barbara Killer Rushed to Intervene, But Too Late .Under California law, psychotherapists have a "duty to protect" and are required to report "a serious threat of physical violence against a reasonably identifiable victim" to local law enforcement within 24 hours. The law, which used to require therapists to "immediately report" the identity of a threatening patient, was amended in October 2013 to better define the timeline to one full day.
."'Immediately' is undefined, and changing the standard to '24 hours' will add certainty and consistency to the reporting," the bill to amend the law read.
