I would report it right then and there if I had my cell phone with me. If I didn't have my cell with me then I would go straight to a phone and report it.  |

If I seen a child being abused, then YES I would report it, however if I only heard of them being abused then I would further look into the situation and go from there. I do know that alot of parents get grief from being reported just because their kid had a few brusies on them. I am sorry, but kids play, fall, and get scraps and brusies. That is life and a part of growing up. However, if those brusies are coming from the parents then that is a totally different story. The parents should have their butts reported no doubt!  |

I don't care who it is.. or what it is.. If its getting hurt.. I'm reporting it.. You have to think about a hypothetic situation.. if you were getting abuse.. would you want to get helped? I sure as all Lime JellO would..  |

I agree, Kids will be kids and they get lots of brusies and thats different. But if a parent puts brusies on them then that is abuse no matter how you look at it. |

If I saw a child being abused, I would report it, I wouldn't care if the ENTIRE family was related or a friend. If I heard about it, I would try to find the truth. My first instinct is to protect a child, time may save a life, not only physically but mentally. I have been trained and know what is abuse, I always keep my eyes and mind open, regardless of what I'm told. People lie. People abuse their kids, sure they aren't perfect, and you know, that IS exactly WHY I don't believe everything I'm told.  |

I'm a nurse. And I've seen lots of child abuse. More than I ever wanted. Sometimes after the child was killed. |

I will never, ever, be able to forgive someone who abuses a child. I can't. I won't. Anyone who asks that forgiveness for a child abuser be attributed to mental illness. I can't. I just can't. The babies, and the little ones, with the awful injuries inflicted stick in my mind. You know, I have thought about this many times, and I KNOW, I KNOW, that I would rather be dead, hurt myself, before killing or injuring a child. People who do this will never recieve any sympathy or pity from me. All I have, is for the child. For the abuser, my heart has NO sympathy, I can't, after witnessing injuries to little ones, even conjure any sympathy. My testimony in court, (if called) will always be for the child. I have no feelings for the abuser. NONE. I just don't. |

I don't know what i would do- deep inside, i would most certainly HOPE that I would report it. in certain situations, though, i might be so scared and shocked that i couldn't. but i would hope that i'd be able to.  |

I totally feel your pain. I was an abused child, mentally , physically, and sexually. It has caused so much pain in my life even in adulthood. I would stand by the child no matter what. |

I would deffinetly report it no matter how young or old the child was or what your relationship was to the child. When I was just a little kid my step father abused me and after a few years, I finally told my mom about it, it was the hardest thing I ever did because I was still so young. My mom reported it but nothing happened to him because she didn't want put me through having to go to court to testify but if she had, that jerk would've gone to prison. Now there's no telling whether or not he's hurt any one else's kid.  |
