LONG Story, but I need some advice about how to approach reporting possible abuse? My sister in law is telling me her fears for her grand-daughter. sister in law & brother in law have raised this child for the first 6 years of her life. Now lil'girl is finally living with her dad (thier son) and his new wife.
Thru phone conversations with son & grand-daughter, they are becoming quite alarmed at her treatment. Being made to wear diapers, and now talk of testing to see if she's retarded? Last night things had escalated to where son told sister in law & brother in law "You'll never be allowed to see grand daughter again!!"
sister in law is too frightened of the backlash if she were to report this herself, so I said I would look into possibly making a report myself. sister in law of course wants their names kept out of it.
Are anonymous reports taken seriously? Is there a protocol to follow? We're talking Emotional Abuse, and afraid there's Physical abuse, too.
Thanks for any insight.
Peace
