You have no idea what you’re talking about. Teachers are the most likely people to recognize abuse in a child.
Except for the very obvious issue here - it is a duty to report. So any small bruise, any indication (i e. A kid saying “mom beats me”) needs to go immediately to protective services. Which then ends up with the kid simply lying for attention after you put the entire family through hell.
They still can report. The thing here is “they aren’t forced to report every single possible instance no matter how small or fake”
No, teachers are not required to report any small bruise. Saying something like “mom beats me”, yes, they would/should be required to report.
They would be required by this law. This is exactly why they were exempt.
