I always consider teachers as the next parents of their students and school as the next home. So if there's a home abuse suspicion, I believe a teacher can make a move by talking to the concerned student and work from there. Or a teacher can always do home visits just to make sure everything's going well. A teacher's responsibility to the student doesn't end inside the four walls of the classroom. For as long as that kid looks up to you as his/her educator, you have a responsibility to that child.

Teachers are state-mandated reporters meaning that if they observe signs of suspected child abuse or neglect, they are legally required to take action and report your suspicions to the proper authorities, usually Child Protective Services.

Although situations like these are challenging for all parties involved, it's important to have your student's best interests in mind and to act in accordance with your district's and state's requirements.

 

Here's how you should proceed.

1. DO YOUR RESEARCH

You need to take action at the first sign of trouble. If this is your first time reporting suspected abuse or you are working in a new school district, arm yourself with information. You must follow the requirements specific to your school and state. All 50 of the United States require your compliance. So go online and find your state's site for Child Protective Services, or similar. Read about how to file your report and make a plan of action.
