I am not an expert but anyone can help stop child abuse. If you are 14 and being abused or know someone who is, you should definitely report it. You can tell anyone, a teacher, a parent of a friend, a relative. No one deserves to be hurt like that no matter what they did. Especially not a child! Please report to someone if you know that someone is in a bad situation.
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.
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.
Teachers can report abuse to any law enforcement agency and should in a timely manner (immediately). Don't waste time with anyone else as time may be crucial in preventing it from recurring. If police do nothing you can try Child Services.
Anyone who hits, hurts physically, emotionally or sexually abuses a child. Whether it is a sibling, parent, other relative or friend, or even a stranger causing the abuse. You should always report any abuse to someone you can trust, like a teacher, police officer or on one of the charity telephone lines that are set up for this.
