Would your Report Child Abuse?

I would and I'm required by law to do so anyway. Because I am going to be working with children in the future, I am required to report any instances of child abuse that I see in public or anywhere else for that matter. Besides, why should children have to suffer in homes where they're not really wanted anyway and just get smacked around?

In a heartbeat! WE are morally obligated to save the children. Some people are mandated by law, my friend I am mandated by my God to protect all living creatures. I hope that anyone would report this to save the children.

I have known people have social works and child abuse taken place and they have done nothing, but it depends on what they say is child abuse. I also know someone who reported someone for leaving her children on ther own while she went out all night drinking with her boyfriend they done nothing. I know of lots of cases and nothing done.

I would of course report it! I dont see why anyone would not report it. I cant stand people who say "Oh, I cant, They will find out. They are good friends and I cant do that to them." BULL! That is a helpless child getting bullied. I'm sorry, but if that was my kid I would want somebody to speak up if they saw any of my children being abused! I just think it's un humanly not to report it. It's also sick.

I believe that if I witnessed real child abuse I would definately report it! There is no reason that any child should be abused. However, with that said, I have to say that these days the world does not want parents to rightfully discipline their children. What I mean by that is that back in the day, parents would be able to spank their children if they chose to if a child was being outrightfully disobedient and "taking away toys" or "time outs" didn't work. I see nothing wrong in "spanking" a child when it is necessary. Now - there are different views on this and also probably different meanings of the word "spank". To spank, according to my terms, is to slap your child on his or her behind - not an arm, leg, or definately not face. But the fatty part of his or her behind quickly once. Not several times. Many children are horrible out in public because people are afraid to rightfully discipline their children and parents end up being afraid of their own children or letting them get way out of hand like on Supernanny. That show discusts me that parents do not know how to parent their own children. Never should a child hit or kick his or her mother or father. But yes - if you saw true evidence of a child being "abused", then I would report it!

I would report it if was serious abuse. If you consider giving your child a spanking for running away from you when you told him/her not to then no, I wouldn't. I would report abuse if the child was getting beat or sexually assaulted or abused verbaly(sp). I have a child of my own and I would never want her to go through anything of the sort. No child should be afraid to live in their own house.

I would report it and not think twice about it. No child should have to be put through that kind of life. They are put on this earth for us to protect them not to abuse them. Not only that we are supposed to report it according to the law also. But that would not matter I would report it anyway even if it was not required by law to report it.

I would without even second guessing it. Children can't always stick up for ourselves so it's our responsiblity to do so! If you witnessed something, then imagine what that child goes through when nobody is around. A child is a precious gift from God and nobody has the right to treat them any different! Parent or not.

Yes I would I couldnt live with myself knowing id ignored a defencless child being abused. Id have to have real proof though that there was a concern I couldnt tear a family apart for something that maybe didnt even happen

If I saw child abuse not only would I report it,but if it was dude who was abusing a child,I would beat him silly,and I feel like everyone person has the civic duty of reporting child abuse,because no child deserves to be abused.

I would report it in a heartbeat. Not only because it is the law but it is just what you should do. I will not tolerate anyone mistreating children or animals. They should put offenders under the jail.
