AP's friend getting physical with her host kids.. what to do?

[Anonymous]

Long story short.. my AP, who I love, was very close with another AP in the area for a while and they have grown apart. My AP confided in me that the other girl was being physical with her host kids, who are young enough in age that they may not have communicated this to the parents (oldest is 3). I feel like I am almost complicit in this now and don't know what to do. It is along the lines of yanking their arms and grabbing their faces to look at her when the kids aren't paying attention to what they are told. I have met the parents once, but don't know them well at all.. I do know that they LOVE their AP though and probably have no idea what's going on. I personally have seen two sides to this girl so I don't doubt what my AP is saying.. I just don't know if it's a MYOB situation and I definitely do not want my AP to get pulled into it. What would you do?

I would tell my LCC. It's a hard one, because it's hearsay, but if real, it is abuse, so you need to address.
The LCC should handle it.

I agree. I would tell the LCC. It isi indeed hearsay but it's also a really scary situation if true. She is hopefully mandated to follow up.

When it comes to suspected child abuse, it's never a MYOB situation. Tell the LCC what you know.

I completely agree - tell the LCC immediately.
