Yes, unless you have the approval of someone in authority who has made a preliminary determination that abuse has taken place, and has made an official report. Simply contacting family services is not always a good idea as most often they will take the child into the system, rather than allow the child to remain with the non-residential parent.The suspecting parent should not extensive question a child about abuse, as children will say what they think the parent wants to hear, and an older child may be simply trying to manipulate the parents.

What could be the consequences if you don't report the child abuse?

Circumstances- as with leaving the scene of an accident- could make it impossible to report. every day people hear strange things- sounds coming from garbage cans that may be animal fights- or dying children. if it sounds llike a child- do not hesitate to report this to the Police ( Via phone).

What happens to a child that does not have a mother?

You did not specify the cause. The mother could be deceased ( childbirth, war accident, other type of accident- terrorism?) or the mother could have deliberately abandoned the child. there are foundling hospitals and orphan asylums for this sort of thing, and while accidental orphan incidents occur- I gave a few causes, they are decidedly rare. on the other hand sick so-called Mothers do abuse children-and neglect and abandonment certainly qualify as abuse. oddly the churchmen never figure in the (lesser evil) argument that contraception and even the big Bomb- Abortion-effectively forestall- prevent child abuse! they don"t want to hear this argument. a few decades back, Divorce was a taboo theme via the Decency leagues. times do change, but child abuse- including clergy-actuated, is on the rise.
