What would you do if you suspect child abuse or neglect?If I suspected child abuse or neglect, as a mandated reporter it is important to notice all signs of different behaviors from both the child and parent/guardian or adult, and report the suspicion once all the facts and clarifications of both adult and child are noticed. Once reported, immediately call 911 for danger or contact the state’s child protective services, or a local child welfare agency to report my concerns.

personally If I ever suspect a child is being abused or neglected, my next step would be to contact CPS right away—even if I’m not completely sure. I would not try to question the child or handle it myself, since CPS is responsible for investigating. I’d also make sure the CPS phone number is posted and easy to find and that parents know we’re required by law to report suspicions. It’s always better to report and let professionals decide than risk a child staying in danger.
