Educators and other professionals are legally and morally responsible to report suspected instances of child abuse. Failing to report abuse can lead to serious consequences for the child, and it is important to prioritize their safety and well-being over any personal concerns about getting involved in their lives. Reporting suspicions of abuse is also the right thing to do and can help prevent further harm to the child.
