[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 281589, member: 1233"] My state actually tells what to do in a situation like this. It is on brochures they hand out at events and have on the counters of all the school districts. If you know a child has been sexually assaulted or abused, call the hotline. If you know a child has been abused in any other way, call the hotline. If you think a child has been abused or assaulted in ANY way, call the hotline. It is your job to make sure she is interviewed appropriately and that steps are taken to help both the prosecution AND the child. It is NOT up to you (every adult is a mandated reporter in my state) to figure out if abuse or neglect is happening. It is your job to REPORT it so that people who are trained in figuring this stuff out can begin to gather facts and give help in any way it is needed. If you suspect abuse, then call. It is that simple. You are NOT accusing anyone, you just have info from this child that leaves you to wonder. And you have the videos to back you up. [U][B][COLOR=DarkOrange]It just isn't your job to find the answer - it is your job to identify the problem.[/COLOR][/B][/U] I am so very very sorry. [/QUOTE]
