My son was complaing of ear pain in school one day (he is 4). When the teacher looked, she saw dried blood and called CPS (child protection). In CPS's line of questioning, my 4 yr old, developmentally delayed son, said he cant hear and it came up that his dad and i hit (spank) him.
So after about 2 weeks CPS contacts me for the first time to tell me about this. The man i spoke with was very nice and didnt by any means seem "out to get us" and was appauled that the school had never said anything to us concerning his hearing.
I feel like the school had a responsibility to report possible abuse (although he is NOT in any way abused) but my question is, how can they not tell parents immediatley that their child may have damage in his ear and says that he cant hear! My 5 yr old's (who goes to a different school) school calls if he so much as scraoes his knee at recess!!! the worst part is they wont even tell me an exact date so i can give his DR all the info!!
