April is child abuse awareness month!!! What to do if you suspect abuse or neglect? If you see actual marks on the child, a good place to start is a pediatrician. You can also speak to the childs teacher, social worker, or psychologist. Child care providers are MANDATED REPORTERS so legally have to take action if there are signs of neglect or abuse. It's always a good idea to create a paper trail (meaning, documented attempts at reporting to a child care provider).
This is a very useful website. Please go here!!!!!!!!!There are places you can call. Please look on this website for resources where to call to ask questions, report cases, and get support:http://www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/index.php?s=100
