The child comes to school with bruises and cuts that are not, in the teacher's mind, consistent with injuries that second grade students routinely receive. She chose not to report the injuries to her superiors for nearly two weeks. She did confer with another teacher about her concerns. While she was contemplating what action should be taken, the student received a life-altering injury at the hands of an abusive parent. Should the teacher be held liable for not immediately reporting her suspicions? What legal principals should be examined by the courts in assessing this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) We are obligated to report any suspicions of abuse. This teacher failed her student and therefore should be held liable for the injury. Thinking about it for two weeks is unacceptable!                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is the best solution.
