Make a report to the local authorities.
If child abuse is suspected, you should report it to help the child! You can call your local Child Protective Services(CPS). The call is confidential.

The same as anyone else. A LPN is required to report it.
It would depend on who you disclose the information to. You should not tell any one not associated with the case. It is however a requirement to report suspected or confirmed child abuse to CPS. Responsible parties (teachers, RNs, MDs, ect.) are required by law to report suspected child abuse.
If there is suspected child abuse then the first thing that should be done is the police should be involved. Once the local police department is called they will place the case in the care of Child Protective Services and a lawyer will be provided for the child.
If abuse or harm of a child or dependent person is suspected the police or Department of Children and Family Services should be contacted. Some professions are mandated reporters and are legally required to report any suspected abuse.
SB1313 eliminated the mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse without evidence for anyone working as a volunteer in the state of California.
a school nurse, or anyone who works with children is required by law to report any suspicion of child abuse. if it is found that they did not report it, they can be charged, jailed, and have their priviledge to work with or even be around children taken away.
If you are not being vindictive, and/or running the risk of filing a false report, and if you HONESTLY suspect that there is domestic violence and child abuse taking place in that relationship, you MUST report it to prevent possible tragic consequences for ALL concerned.
