Child Abuse

Last Thursday, the professional development session focused on child abuse.  Although I considered myself fairly aware of the signs of child abuse or neglect; the obvious.  I realized that there was a considerable amount of information that is not highly publicized or recreated on your average Lifetime movie.

This week coincidentily I became acutely aware of a potential problem concerning this issue for one of my students.  Shocked, I went through the steps that we discussed which led to meeting with my principal.  I was amazed that just a simple overview of the things that school personnel should be on the lookout for, helped me to readily identify a possible risky situation.
