[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a school counselor and in my 20 years I’ve made about 4–5 reports per year. Roughly half of those have been “screened in” and taken by CPS, while the others were simply logged in case additional reports come in later. Not every report leads to an investigation. However, as mandated reporters (and based on the many trainings I’ve attended that were led by Child Protective Services) we are strongly encouraged to err on the side of caution and make the report when there is concern. Once the report is made, the decision about whether it is taken or investigated is out of our hands. Personally, I would much rather sleep at night knowing that I did everything I could to help keep a child safe, even if that means risking being seen as overzealous. And those call aren't fun to make.[/quote] Do you have your own kids? Do you work in a low socioeconomic area. 5 a year seems like a lot even for a counselor, particularly since half aren’t taken in.[/quote]
