“...mandated to report abuse of any kind...”
What is the definition of abuse?
Who gets screwed when you are wrong? It sure as hell isn’t you.
And who’s “getting screwed” if she isn’t wrong? (answer: a child) Just remember, it does happen.
Well, the definition of abuse is defined by courts. If, in my work duties (or even off duty actually)I notice strange unexplainable bruising, bleeding, cuts, burns or even behaviors that may indicate abuse of a client, I call the police. It has happened to me once, and, I was right. What if I had ignored my suspicions and said nothing?
