[QUOTE="JodyS, post: 182988, member: 5440"] I am a mandated reporter. Boy does that make my life easy. I don't have any options but to call and report. She could be twisting things around and lying, but that is up to them to figure out, not you. You don't loose anything by reporting. They will find the truth and it could lead to getting her back into therapy and counseling. Sadly enough in most states funding is down and cases aren't even being looked into unless they are very severe. Many times they will try to meet with a teenager first and hear their side before even deciding to confront the parents in the first place. However, if there are concerns there, you are just making a report. What if other people have made reports and you don't know it? Sometimes it takes several reports by many people for them to do anything. Maybe this girl just needs help and the parents will realize it if she is making up stuff. You don't have to make an anonomous(sp?) call anyway, they have to by law protect your identity. Good luck and keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
