The following will seem like I'm bragging, but I'm not as it's all factual. The reason will be understood in the summary.
I've lectured for 11-years to just about every discipline that is
responsible for children: police, firemen, EMT's, teachers, medical
personnel. and at colleges and universities in the Master's program for
Criminal Justice professionals, all on Child Abuse. All of these people
were Mandatory Reporters, i.e., if they didn't report child
abuse to the proper agency or take care of the child themselves they
could be disciplined and/or arrested, which in one case, a teacher was,
based on my recommendation.
Just because you're not a mandatory
reporter doesn't mean that you do not have a moral obligation to do
anything about trying to help the child from further abuse.
So what's my point?
If you don't report to the proper authorities what you know or suspect
that a relative or neighbor is abusing their children, I strongly
believe that you are complicit in the pain and suffering of that child.
You Don't Report Child Abuse
