scenario: jacob, an 11-year old boy who has a tendency to lie, went home with a discipline slip for bad grades and bad behavior. he did not come back to school for three days. when he returned to school he was wearing a school sweatshirt even though it was a hot day. when he took his sweatshirt off during recess there were multiple loop-marked scabs in a pattern on his arms that appear to have been inflicted by someone with something. the teacher asked what happened to his arms. jacob responded, "i bumped into a door." what should the teacher do if they suspect jacob’s injuries were are result of abuse/neglect? remember, reporters only need a "cause to believe" a child was abused or neglected.

Respuesta :

The teacher should try to talk to Jacob and ask him carefully if he is getting abused. If yes, then who is the one abusing him. Try to wait until Jacob tells you, but if you see signs of abuse still then you need to do something about it.

Try to look for warning signs. Some warnings signs could be-

Physical signs: Bruising or swelling near the genital area, blood on sheets or undergarments, or broken bones

Verbal cues: Using words or phrases that are “too adult” for their age, unexplained silence, or suddenly being less talkative

If you find clear signs of abuse then you go and report it to the authorities.
