is rape reportable?

Along the lines of the drunk minor- don't the parents have the right to request a copy of all lab resport pertaining to their minor son?

I am sure they can, but would most parents even think to do this? If they had no reason to suspect he was drinking I highly doubt they would request labs unless they are in the profession. Trying to read and understand the labs would probably be foreign. But other then lack of knowledge I don't see why they can't.

Check with your state laws - it's as easy as calling your local police department and asking the front desk.

In most instances - as I understand it - you are obligated to report some one who has committed a crime, but if some one is victim to the crime it is on them whether they would like to move forward with it or not.

In my old state (Massachusetts), rapes were reported to law enforcement. The report included the date, time, and location of the rape, and the victim's age and sex, but not their name. If the victim was a minor under 16, DSS was informed. If the victim wanted to press charges, that was a different matter.
