I knew as a teacher that we are mandated reporters when it comes to abuse and neglect. I did not know that reporting the event to school administration does not meet lawful reporting requirements. I guess that I should have known that failure to report is a misdemeanor in most states.

Mantal illness is on the rise. We need to be prepared and ready, continuing our education is a must.
Reporting suspected abuse is HUGE - so much is hidden, that if the abuse is bad enough to be suspected, it's usually pretty bad. As educators, we have a duty to protect and ensure the safety of our students to the best of our ability.
