Well the fact that you know would mean the ball is in your court. If you are willing to get involved there are many options you can take. Police, dyfus, social services, tell someone at the school they are going to. If the child won't admit to the beatings its going to be a long haul in getting the help that child needs. The child needs to talk to someone who can convince them that it is WRONG to get beaten and it is ok to tell. They did nothing wrong to deserve it. Too often children are too scared to tell and that often leads to a tragic ending.

Well first off how do you know if the child has been beat? Some parents believe in spanking their kids for disaplin and the child may say his parents are beating him when thats not the case. I'm 100% behind spankin bad childeren its a much better way then the "time out" disaplin. even though you really have to becareful not to leave bruises.
I guess i would ask the child how he/she is getting beat and look to see if there are bruises being left where the child says hes/shes been beat. ofcourse thats if the child bruises easy or not. In my case I'm boarder line hemophiliac i bruise farely easy someone can just grab my arm and there will be a black n blue mark. You can really damage a family by given the wrong facts so i guess you should really look into the situation first before taken it further.If there are bruises on the body contacting the police would be a good call they can usually find out whats going on in the house hold.

Call child protective services or Health Department or Family Independency agency in your area you do not have to leave your name call anomously and give them the parents name and the child's name and tell them you believe the child is being abused you'll just be giving them a tip and you'll feel better knowing you helped a helpless child and not the ignoant adult. If the state or agency doesn't act on your tip you'll have to do something else but know you tried and hopefully you won't stop untill you get that child some help..! Please call children don't deserve to be abused and can not defend themselves. Maybe you saw what you did for a reason and that reason is b/c you need to call authorities for the child's sake - Never tell anyone not even your mother that you called! the person doing the abuse will not know it was you. If you are a true friend youo'll call what if it gets out of hand and the child ends up dead how will you feel then?
Good luck!

Tell someone anyway! If you are a child...tell your parents and/or a teacher. If your an adult call you local family services or even the police.
You know what to do or you wouldn't have asked it here. While your waiting on answers, the child could have been beaten again.
Look up the story of Nixmary Brown and think of that child and how your contributing to the abuse of a babe.

Well, what would you want someone to do if you or your child was getting beaten?!?? Children in the situation are obviously scared. They have most likely been threatened never to tell, etc. The situation will never end unless there is intervention. Call the Child Protective Services. You can leave an anonymous message, although your name WILL be kept confidential.

I would turn them into the Child Protection Agency (it is called different things in different areas). In a lot of cities, they do not seem to be very efficient, but it is better than the police. Usually the police cannot do anything unless there is proof right then that the child has been abused. Hopefully a state agency will be able to investigate better than the police.
Good luck to you.

Well, if it's an abusive beating...leaving deep marks and also emotional scars, you TELL someone, since THEY don't want to tell anyone. But you tell someone who you trust can get them some real help. Like if you are close to your parents or guardian, talk with them about the situation without using names and see what advice they can give you. Or tell a favorite teacher or school guidance counselor.
In order for abuse to end, the silence must be broken.

You have to tell someone. You can call social services and report them without leaving your name and they will investigate. Or you can tell a couselor at school. Or even better write a letter. Schools take these things serious and so do social sevices. you have to do something. No one deserves to go threw that. If it were you wouldn't you want someone to help you? Are would you rather them know and not say anything? You might be saving this person life.
