Case: Neglect or not neglect?
A child comes in dirty and smelly. He is depressive. He is very slow, like a snail. He does not complete tasks independently and has zero confidence. The teacher has spoken with his mother and she disclosed he has seen a lot of paternal violence. However, mom isn't top notch and always plays the "single mom" card. However, it is no excuse to have an un-bathed child. How does the teacher approach this with the mother?
Bathing the child might make a difference in how he feels during the day.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This sounds like it runs much deeper than just a bathing issue. The mother needs to be made aware of the teacher's concerns and be told of the child's behavior in school. If the teacher suspects abuse (neglect is a form of abuse!) then it needs to be reported. Someone has to take an interest in this poor child, because there obviously isn't any coming from home! Single parent or not, she still is responsible for caring for her child! The child needs love, attention and the basic necessities which he obviously isn't getting! She(the teacher) may need to remind the mother of her duties as a teacher and caregiver to the child to report things such as abuse! |

| Comments: I agree with the majority of this, however, "reminding" the mother of her duties may not be the best way to build or strengthen a relationship. |

| Comments: I would not do this; this is over stepping the line, by telling the mother that she needs to be reminded of her duties. The mother may already be embarrassed so avoiding even more emotional stress can help this case. |

| Comments: I do not think the teacher needs to tell the mother how to be a parent, chances are the other teachers and people in contact with the student have noticed the same things and it should be reported. |

| Comments: I don't think this is helpful. Yes, the teacher is required to report abuse if they think it might be present, however, this doesn't really sound like a case of abuse and it may just be that the mother needs additional help in home life. She might be struggling financially to support her son as a single mother and may not have much time to give. There are plenty of programs to help her rather than report her. |

| Comments: Talking to the parent more is not good if you suspect neglect. It just gives them time to hide things. DCFS should be called. |
