(1) The
duty to warn arises only under the limited circumstances specified in section
6-1902, Idaho Code. The duty to warn a clearly identifiable victim shall be
discharged when the mental health professional has made a reasonable effort to
communicate, in a reasonable timely manner, the threat to the victim and has
notified the law enforcement agency closest to the patient's or victim's
residence of the threat of violence, and has supplied a requesting law
enforcement agency with any information he has concerning the threat of
violence. If the victim is a minor, in addition to notifying the appropriate
law enforcement agency as required in this subsection, the mental health
professional shall make a reasonable effort to communicate the threat to the
victim's custodial parent, noncustodial parent, or legal guardian.
(2) The provisions of this section do not limit or affect the mental
health professional's duty to report child abuse or neglect in accordance with
section 16-1605, Idaho Code.
