In recent discussion with Professor Beryl Blaustone of CUNY Law School distinction in Queens, N.Y. early forms of Broken Squares appear to have evolved in this century from the work of Blaine Hartford and adapted by J. William Pfeiffer in a Handbook of Structured Experiences for Human Relations Training ( Volume 1, Revised) University Associates, Inc. w/ permission from Alex Bavelas, Communication Patterns in Task-Oriented Groups, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1950, 22, 225-230.

When I took alternative dispute resolution from Beryl Blaustone at Willamette Law School back in 1991 (I was a management, rather than a law student, but got an ADR certification) we discussed the role of lawyer/client privilege and ethics.
...
Ms. Blaustone was an instructor at CUNY Law School (she was visiting Willamette) so it's possible she was talking only about New York law.But she seemed quite adamant, and I got the distinct impression that this had to do with national statute, though I can't provide a citation.
...
In my defense I should say that I undersold Judge Blaustone a bit.She wasn't merely "an instructor" but was on the founding faculty of CUNY Law School.Either she is wrong, however, or (somewhat more likely) my recollection is off, and the rule she refers to is or was a state statute only.Now that I think of it her admonition may have been that some states had passed such laws, making the revelation of a crime involving child abuse obligatory.
...
I note, however, that Charles above holds that in his state there is no such special rule for child abuse, so perhaps Judge Blaustone (although part of the founding faculty of CUNY Law School) may have misinformed me.
