Case: She chose not to report the injuries.
A second grade teacher suspects that one of her students is a victim of child abuse. 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!)
Yes, the teacher should be help liable for something. A teacher spends roughly 35 hours a week with their students, these teachers need to be on the look out for anything that is harming the student. As a teacher it is your right ethically, legally and morally to report anything you feel could be harming a child. This teacher ould also be liable for some kind of child abuse charges legally for not saying something to stop the behavior. |

| Comments: It is actually illegal for a teacher, who suspects a child of being abused, not to report child abuse as they are not doing anything to stop it. This teacher can get her license taken away and even jail time. Teachers are liable for their students safety, whether inside or outside school. |

| Comments: I would do the same thing in this situation. I think it is important that if a teacher suspects abuse on a child it should be reported to an administrator and counselor immediately for proper action to be taken. |

| Comments: I agree with this statement because the teacher spend so much time with the students. It is essential that they are reporting something whether they think this is an issue or not. It is the teacher requirement to report something whether it is harmful or not. |

| Comments: Even though it is hard to agree the teacher should be punished as well for not reporting what she thought was abuse right of way. Like you said it is the teachers right ethically, legally, and morally to notify the state if they suspect any abuse even if the teacher is not sure. |
