What are the general steps to be taken in order to report a suspected case of abuse?

Suspected abuse is always a difficult subject. The steps to report suspected abuse differ depending on the age of the person and who is doing the reporting.
Some professionals are "mandatory reporters", meaning they must make a report whenever anything arouses suspicion. Doctors, nurses, dentists, school nurses, teachers and school administrators are all mandatory reporters. They should follow their institution's protocols and policies, but basically, it would simply mean making the report to the appropriate agency and possibly to the police, and documenting what was seen / heard / witnessed / suspected. who made the call with the date and time, who took the report (name and title), and what was reported. For example a gym teacher noticed a young boy had welts across his back so the gym teacher and school administrator would both likely document.
Anyone in the community can report abuse, whether he/she leaves a name or calls anonymously. The intake worker will need: the name of the family, the names of the parents if known, the name of the child or children, an address of the home if known, and what raised your suspicions. The more information you give, the better assessment can be done. Your name will not be given to the parents. Child Welfare usually must follow up within 24 hours of a report.

How do you report abuse in care?
== == * Physical abuse is easier to prove to authorities than mental abuse, but the scars are just as real in mental abuse. If this person is physically abusing you and you have the bruises, broken bones or scars to prove it, call in the police. The police will take the the abuser away in handcuffs, but unfortunately they can't keep abuser in jail that long and a Restraining Order isn't worth the paper it's written on. Whether it's physical or mental abuse The second thing you can do is pack your personal things (don't let him see it) and then phone (from a friends cell or a pay phone) to your local "Abuse Women's Center" or your "Mental Health." They are there to protect you and they will send you to a "safe house" (no one will know where you are unless you tell them) and help you get on your feet. They will help with legal counsel, getting you settled in your own place, help with getting a job and they will expect you to attend good programs that teaches you about abuse and the tools that will help you from going back to your abuser or getting involved in another abusive relationship. == == == ==
