Walk It Through: The Bruises the Teacher Saw
A teacher who suspects abuse, an oral report at once, a written one in 72 hours, and the immunity that covers it.
A teacher notices bruises on a student and hears an account that raises a suspicion of abuse.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
A mandated reporter at a school. Reports by people not on the list, the department's investigation, and court proceedings that follow are left out.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
