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!)
The whole situation is fragile.The first thing to do is to contact the school psychologist and gather her opinion on the situation. Next you should contact the administrator and inform them of the situation. If the problem persists then you may have to contact social services and hand over the investigation. The presence of even occasional violence indicates that this is a serious situation that should be taken up with social services and maybe even law enforcement. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. I feel that this is a very delicate situation and that the teacher needs to notify the personnel mentioned above. This is for the protection of the teacher, the school, and the child. |

Comments: I think this solution is the most useful because it offers advice on what should be done without taking the situation completely from the teacher into a liaisons hands. |
