Reports Are Down, But Schools Are Making False and Malicious Educational Neglect Reports (www.risemagazine.org)

Christine Cissy White 6/18/208:52 AM

This is from the Rise Magazine website and newsletter:

Due to COVID-19, children currently are not physically attending school or programs staffed by mandated reporters of suspected child abuse and neglect. Reports to child protective services have decreased significantly. Some quickly jumped to the conclusion that abuse and neglect may be going undetected and unreported.
However, parents and advocates provide another perspective and explain that the drop in calls is not necessarily the problem the media assumes. In fact, 90% of school personnel hotline calls turn out not be abuse or neglect.
