When Not to Report

Child Abuse

It is never OK to not report child abuse. If you clicked on this page, it is most likely because you know or suspect that a child is being abused. You are afraid to report it, and you are looking for validation of those fears.

If this is scary for you, imagine how scary it is for the child in question.

If you are hesitant to call the police because you think there is not enough evidence, or that the crime isn’t serious enough to involve the police, call the police. Let them decide if it is a valid case. You won’t be wasting their time. Police officers love children.

If the child in question is your own, you really can not afford to not report it.

If you are afraid to report it because it would end your marriage, ask yourself what is more important: saving your marriage, or saving your child? Save your child.

If you would lose your home if you come forward, and you think you have no place to go, you are wrong. You can call your local Health & Welfare Office or Police Department and ask them for the number of a Domestic Violence Shelter (or Support Group or Counselor). The most common fear is just a general anxiety of: "I don’t know what’ll happen." None of us do. None of us is omniscient. The best we can do is What we Feel in Our Hearts is The Best Thing for our Children.

Your child is helpless. You are not. Your child trusts you to protect him/her. He/she trusts you to make the tough decisions. He/she trusts you to face the world, to take the brunt of its blows, and to shield him/her behind you, out of harm’s way.

Report it. Save your child. If you can’t deal with it emotionally – you can go to therapy later. But right now, you need to do what's right and save your child.

We do realize how difficult it is to face this tragedy. There are people who will help you through it. But no one can help you or your child if they don't know what's going on. Call the police. They can put you in touch with a whole network we have in our community to help people in your situation.

Report Child Abuse.

It's the Right Thing to Do...

And It's the Law.
