Thanks for addressing this topic as a crisis line volunteer, I appreciate you telling your readers, that there are many that face this dilema, and we shouldn’t ever sweep it under a carpet.
Thanks for spreading the word! We as a society need to do a better job of detecting and reporting child abuse. For example, many teachers who notice signs of child abuse do not know how to talk to the student about it. Thus, the abuse may go unreported. A new online role-playing course lets teachers practice a conversation with a possible child abuse victim, getting expert feedback after every choice. (It was written by a former Minnesota police detective.) There’s a free version and a CEU-credit version. Tools like this will help all of us to become sharper at spotting — and stopping — this epidemic of child abuse.
