ALWAYS call DCF if you think a child is being abused.

It is very important for a teacher to call the DCF/CPS/whatever organization if they have reason to suspect a child is being abused. If the teacher feels unsure if it constitutes abuse they may want to get a second opinion from someone else, such as a coworker.

In many states, teachers have a legal requirement to report suspected abuse.
