Don't hurt the babies

If you witness child neglect or abuse, or even suspect it, please report it. It takes everyone to protect our most vulnerable humans.

You can remain anonymous, if you choose, or you can give your name but ask that it be kept confidential. However you do it, just do it.

Abuse is rarely a singular event. If you have witnessed it, chances are it is occurring both regularly and with greater intensity in private. Be an adult. Report it, and report it again if you do not see results.

As a nurse, I am a mandatory reporter. I have to tell the authorities if I even suspect abuse or neglect. Adopt that attitude. Because it is right to do so. Because it shouldn't hurt to be a child.
