Never... as an adult who was abused when I was a child, I know how scary it can be to speak up, and I had wished that the adults around me had the guts to speak up FOR me.

I would never turn my eye to child abuse. I would work to stop the abuse and report the abuser. I might even give them a taste of their own medicine. That is just me I don't have a good thought about child abuse.

NEVER - I have called the police before when I saw a dad beating the tar out of his son (closed fist) I also started screaming bloody murder at him to stop. He went off on me to mind my own business. I got in between the two until the police got there and hauled his abusive butt to jail, his poor child had a cut lip from being tossed to the pavement, and gosh only knows what else.
note - since you said abuse, everyone defines it differently. I understand spanking is not considered abuse, I would never report a parent for spanking their child.

I wouldn't!! I had an experience last year where I knew that my neice and nephews were being molested by there dad because my sister Inlaw which is their mom told me all these way sick stories of what the dad was doing to them and then what the kids were doing to each other. And So i had no choice but to call DCFS. They came over to my house the next day and interviewed me with the police sitting right there. Basically, they couldn't prove anything because the mom denyed telling me such things. And then they said that because it all happened in a deiiferent state, they can't do anything about it. And nice that I know that it's still going on and nobody will do anything about it. The stupid mom (my sister inlaw) still takes her kids over there. It just makes me sick!!!
So, yeah turn in someone if you know that they are abusing kids.

No, I would do anything I possibly could to help the child out. Being a survivor of abuse, I would hope that someone would do for another child something that never happened to me. It breaks my heart to think that this still happens to children, but I would make it my cause to make sure that children were never hurt like I was.

Hell No! My mom and I run a daycare and we just had an incident of abuse, but we are entitled to tell the authorities. But we just warned the parents that if we see or hear about it again that we have the right to go to the authorities. It stopped at least not enough to leave marks. But we grow to love these kids like they are our own, so we will protect these kids!

HELL NO!!!! Children are defenseless and don't deserve any kind of abuse, not talking discipline here, but real and true abuse. If you see this happening to a child, you have a responsibility to report it, and a responsibility to help that child out of such a horrible nightmare. Imagine if you were that child. Wouldn't you want someone to help and protect you if you couldn't do it yourself?

CPS is there for a reason, to guard babies. often times they pass too far, yet that's a distinctive question. CPS won't take a decision until you describe activities happening that meet their standards. case in point in case you called and mentioned "My sister strikes plenty that her daughter is an emotional injury" they could assist you recognize that they'd't do something approximately that. So in the event that they took your call and could look at then you certainly've no longer something to sense undesirable approximately, there is obviously some themes that would desire to be addressed. one in each and every of my values is to guard people who can no longer help themselves and it particularly is all which you have been doing. CPS will step in, rigidity your sister to alter, or she will loose her teenagers. If she would not substitute, then the babies would be greater suited off.

Absolutely NOT. If the abuser broke the law, he'd be in jail and the child would be hooked up with a counselor.
