if i witnessed child abuse or neglect i would report to social services and make sure that this is also done in private where others are unware the parent and staff in the center,

[Kate]

If I thought something fishy was going on with a kid, I’d definitely speak up. I’d reach out to the police or child protection services pronto and let them know what’s up. It’s all about looking out for the little ones and making sure they’re safe and sound. No kid should have to deal with abuse or neglect, and it’s up to all of us to step in and make sure they get the help they need, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

[Tiffany]

I would document any kind of evidence I have, check in with my lead to collect our thoughts, and then contact CPS.

What would you do if you suspected child abuse or neglect?

First, I would try to talk to talk to the child. Then bring the Child abuse/neglect to my director’s/supervisor’s attention and finally, call/report CPS as I’m considered as the mandated reporter in this situation.

[Serena Lopez Mendoza]

I would go with my supervisor and report it to the appropriate authorities.

[Kelli]

I would make sure I keep details on the observations I made and take it to my supervisor to make sure these are reliable resources and observations to make a report

[Hannah Beebe]

I’d collect all the information, child’s name, address, parents and contact information. I’d write down my observations and suspicions. I would then inform my supervisor as well as call CPS.

[Sonny Helms]

report it to CPS ASAP

[Sonny Helms]

I would ask the child questions about their experience in a gentle way if I though it would clarify my suspicions. Then I would consult with the Lead teacher about their observations. Finally I would follow protocol and report the incident with CPS.

The child always is the first concern. Firstly if you suspected abuse you will need to let your supervisor know. go over wac for proper information before calling child services.

[Genesis Berg]

be more alert to any signs the child maybe having and if you suspect child abuse you need to report it

[Kassandra]

I would first document the date, time, and description of the injuries and pay close attention for any other signs, I would immediately share my concerns with the lead teacher or supervisor. Then, I would file a CPS report and let them handle it but I would still closely monitor for any other signs of abuse.

[Josie]

I would first talk to my supervisor and report to them what I have suspected. Then report the case to CPS.

[Nizhoni]

Talk to the child first and then inform my supervisor to see if they have similar concerns or see any new problems. I’d document everything down and contact CPS.
