[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is very clear to me in this thread is that most posters have no idea how to assess for child abuse. Anyone who is thinking about social consequences when a grown man grabbed his daughter hard enough to leave marks because he was angry with her has pretty messed up priorities.

A report is ethically required of a mandated reporter based on the few details the OP provided. If she wants help and doesn’t want to involve CPS, she can provide fewer details, I guess. I think of my husband did this to our child, I’d probably default to NOT helping him conceal and downplay his anger issues and lack of parenting skills. If nothing, if CPS does get involved, the OP would maybe not be viewed to have as much protective capacity as she would have if she hadn’t concealed earlier abuse. [/quote]

+1. If my husband ever laid a hand on my children CPS would be [b]the least of his[/b] problems. [/quote]

It will be YOUR problem.  You’ll be investigated as well and he could lose his job which would affect child support.  It’s not anything to mess with.  [/quote]
