A bit of self-education:
If you suspect a child has been abused, report your suspicion. Each county has a local children and youth agency that is responsible for investigating reports of suspected child abuse. Even if you have reported the abuse before and you still have concerns, keep reporting. The children and youth agency needs to know if the situation hasn’t improved.
Each children and youth agency is responsible for investigating the reports and providing services to abused and neglected children and their families to prevent further abuse.
Anyone who makes a report in good faith is protected under the Child Protective Services Law from criminal and civil immunity. You may choose to make a report anonymously; however, providing your name for the children and youth agency assists the agency if they have any questions about the report or need to verify information.
Mandated Reporters: People, who through the course of their employment, occupation or practice of their profession come into contact with children, are required to report when they suspect the child coming before them has been abused. Mandated reporters include doctors, nurses, school personnel, therapists, day care staff, dentists, police officers and mental health professionals. Although mandated reporters are required to report suspected abuse, anyone may make a report of suspected abuse.
Information the caseworker will ask you includes: Names of the child, parents, siblings and alleged perpetrator; Birthdates (if unknown, approximate ages); Addresses (if unknown, directions to the home); Phone numbers;
Nature of the incident (what happened, when, where, who was involved);
How did you become aware of incident (witness, told by someone else); and
Factors that put the child at risk (continuing contact with the alleged perpetrator, disabilities or limitations, history of domestic violence).
The children and youth agency has 24 hours to begin its investigation and see the child. If they cannot determine from the report that the child is safe they must immediately begin the investigation and immediately see the child.
