You notice a student you are tutoring as a school volunteer is hiding significant cuts and bruises. In conversation the student tells you he is regularly beaten up by his older brother when their mother is at work. Do you:
(a)
Do nothing because physical abuse is only necessary to report when it is directed by adults towards children
(b)
Resolve to contact the mother yourself because you know where they live.
(c)
Tell the child to let you know if it happens again.
(d)
Bring your concerns to the attention of the teacher or the Principal as soon as possible. If you can make a note of everything you have been told.
