MemberMay 6, 2024 at 1:24 amEn primer termino conversaria y pondria al tanto de la situacion de posible abuso a mi supervisor (maestro lider) luego documentaria todo lo ocurrido en un informe bien detallado y como ultimo paso acudo e informo de lo ocurrido al CPS porque como cuidadora soy reportera obligatoria de todo abuso, negligencia o maltrato hacia un nino bajo mi cuidado.

Repot this to the appropriate authorities. I can also contact the local child protective services.

MemberMay 18, 2024 at 1:36 amIf a child tells you they are experiencing abuse, it’s important to reassure them that they’ve done the right thing in telling you. Make sure they know that abuse is never their fault. Never talk to the alleged perpetrator about the child’s disclosure. This could make things a lot worse for the child.

MemberMay 19, 2024 at 12:20 ames un tema muy importante y delicado dada la responsabilidad que tenemos al hacer una denuncia de algun caso de abuso infantil o negligencia porque se debe estar seguro de que la informacion que vamos a brindar sea cierta porque de no ser así incurrimos en otro delito que es injuria.
