Thanks for pointing out...A very thoughtful article. Thanks for pointing out that nurses are excellent observers of child abuse (and thus can report it and stop it). Teachers need to become more skilled at being mandated reporters, too. When most teachers see <A HREF="http://www.hownottotalk.com/abuse" REL="nofollow">signs of child abuse</A>, they don't know how to talk to the child. So they frequently say the wrong thing, either scaring the child back into silence, or jeopardizing any future prosecution. A new online <A HREF="http://www.hownottotalk.com/abuse" REL="nofollow">role-playing</A> course tries to address this. It lets teachers rehearse a conversation with a possible child abuse victim, getting feedback after every choice. It's free (with a CEU-version for teachers). Maybe someone should do one of these for nurses, too....gbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10498034046866848111noreply@blogger.com
