[QUOTE="Andy, post: 188742, member: 5096"] Take difficult child to the doctor's office to ask how you should treat the bruises. They are also mandatory reporters. I would just call to set up an appointment., Reason you want difficult child to see the doctor? "My son has severe bruises - I would like the doctor to check them and see what type of damage has been done." Let the doctor's office ask how it happened (don't offer the info, you don't want to appear to be "tattling", your concern is to get the medical help for your son. They will ask - if they don't, something is wrong with the doctor's office). Whenever this happens, take him to ER immediately, ER will also be mandatory reporters. The more people reporting, the better. As others said, the school should have reported it. Did difficult child show the school the marks or just verbally report what happened? Find out from difficult child who exactly he told then call that person and ask for a report. Then ask why a report was not made, then take it to the principal and ask why staff did not follow through on the mandatory reporting. If no satisfaction, write a letter to the school board (certified letter so you have proof it was delivered - or have your lawyer write it.) Also as others said, cops should not be above the law. Hopefully your lawyer can help in this area. You can tell x's wife that anyone who saw the bruise or was told about it (a friend's parent) could have made the call and if a call was made to CPS someone must have felt the need to call. difficult child has probably lost any respect he had for his dad. Every little negative thing dad does now will be adding to the fuel of anger difficult child will probably start building. My heart goes out to difficult child. This is just wrong. Keep us posted on how this gets resolved - one of us may need the info some day (though I pray not). [/QUOTE]
