For medical personnel? Loss of license at a perhaps.

Any physician who willfully fails to report suspected child abuse or neglect shall be referred to the Illinois State Medical Disciplinary Board for action in accordance with the Medical Practice Act of 1987. Any dentist or dental hygienist who willfully fails to report suspected child abuse or neglect shall be referred to the Department of Professional Regulation for action in accordance with the Illinois Dental Practice Act.
Any mandatory reporter who willfully fails to report suspected child abuse or neglect shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor for a first violation and a class 4 felony for a second or subsequent violation.
Any person who knowingly and willfully violates any provision of this section is guilty of a class A misdemeanor for a first violation and a class 4 felony for a second or subsequent violation.
