Circumstances- as with leaving the scene of an accident- could make it impossible to report. every day people hear strange things- sounds coming from garbage cans that may be animal fights- or dying children. if it sounds llike a child- do not hesitate to report this to the Police ( Via phone). You can stay anonymous. There are many cases of children being abandoned ( certainly in the child abuse/neglect) category in trash facilities, there is even a sickening joke that a Dempster Dumpster is what some people think of as a Baby Carriage!- Yecch- but it happens, Kids do make things up like stolen or lost toys, but sounds like child cries out in the street late at night should immediately flag attention- report it- it could be a matter of life and death!

Is it against the law to hit your child on the arm and leave a bruise with a belt?

Any hit or slap which leaves a mark or cut on a child could be determined to be child abuse. However, even a well-meaning parent using appropriate punishment with a child COULD accidentally leave a bruise. This is why authorities evaluate each case and the circumstances.That said, a child who is being beaten and abused can report this to the police, any teacher, or counselor. All are mandated to report suspected abuse. A child can also call Child Welfare to report. However, it doesn't mean the agency will decide it is abuse.If you did something wrong, and your parent accidentally left a bruise when he smacked you, is it truly abuse... or are you just angry that an adult can set the rules, even if you don't like those rules.

What should a Child do if being Abuse?

A child should call the police, go to their teacher or a trust worthy adult. The child could even tell a friend and ask them to tell their parents. It is so important to tell some one. Some one will believe this child. I strongly urge the child to find help quickly. If you have received a report, it is unlawful to not report it. If you have received a report, you also can go to the police, or contact child protective services.


If you are the noncustodial parent who suspects the custodial parent of child abuse do you have to return the child to the home after scheduled visitation?

Yes, unless you have the approval of someone in authority who has made a preliminary determination that abuse has taken place, and has made an official report. Simply contacting family services is not always a good idea as most often they will take the child into the system, rather than allow the child to remain with the non-residential parent.The suspecting parent should not extensive question a child about abuse, as children will say what they think the parent wants to hear, and an older child may be simply trying to manipulate the parents. Take the child to a doctor or ER Room to be examined. Do not shop around to find a doctor that will simply agree with you.If a week day, file am Emergence Child In Need of Care and Emergency Temporary Change of Custody Motions.To simply retain possession of the child could result of being charged with parental abduction.
