Legality Of My Boss Notifying A Parent They’re Being Investigated For Child Abuse

Location: California

So I work at a children’s gymnastics club where we are all mandated reporters and supposed to follow Safe Sport regulations. During one of our recent one of the children attending told their friend they were being abused by their parents at home. This child told their parents when they got home about what they had heard and the parents proceeded to make a report to the police.

The owner of the gym was contacted by the person investigating to schedule a meeting to gather information for their case. He proceeded to forget about the meeting and ignore the investigators calls, making two of his employees step in and take the call, assuming the owner had just forgot. After answering the investigators questions, our owner came in and proceeded to verbally berate and cuss out these two employees for speaking to the investigator. Apparently he was intentionally ignoring the call hoping to avoid the situation and possibly losing a customer… He then proceeded to call the parents that were reported and warn them about the investigation. Is this not impeding with an investigation and extremely dangerous for the child?

For over two hours he was screaming at the two employees and trying to make them find out what family made the report in the first place. He is now punishing these employees for following Safe Sport and mandated reporter policy.

Is this not illegal?
