child advocacy

1 Read scenarios 1a-1d in your textbook on page 58.

1 Select two of the scenarios and discuss whether you would call the Child Protective Services in each scenario based on the information you have. Why or why not?  If you are unsure, what additional information would you need to help you make your decision.

2 How do you think you would feel if you had to make a report of suspected child maltreatment?  How might a colleague or other professional help you cope with any negative feelings?
