Child abuse

its depend upon the situation. sometimes we need to be very strictly to our childre to decipline them.

ABSOULTELY! there are so many options if you want to remain anonymous. In my state there is a 24 hour hotline for Child Protective services. My daughter's half siblings have been abuse plenty of times... I have reported it. That's why my daughter doesn't know her father and grandfather. Grandpa is in prison and dad can only see 2 of his 5 kids. You can call the cop anonyomusly as well. You never know what that person is capable of doing. You may save that child's life.

Here, in Canada, by law, we have to, with the exception of lawyers, under the Criminal Code. If my next door neighbor was beating their children, then yes, I would report it, without any doubt.

If something in my stomach didn't feel right, you bet I would report it. There's a difference between discipline and abuse. If I see someone doing it, even if it's in public, i'm calling CPS or the police. A child doesn't know the difference if it was raised like that, and it may seem even normal to them, but they deserve to be rescued from that situation. When I had next door neighbors, you can hear them yelling at the child and the child YELLING- not crying. You bet I called the Child Protective Services. I remained anonymous- since they were the kind of people that would retaliate. So, the CPS came over and investigated. Come to find out, he was abused and he had bruised all over his body- and he was only 1 year old. They took the child away and the parents were sent to jail. I saw the little boy a few months ago, and he is now in therapy, but he is happy once again since he's living with his aunt. His aunt has full custody.
