Child Abuse Awareness
The following warning signs are just that -warning signs. The presence of a warning sign does not mean that a child is being abused. Staff or volunteers who observe signs should immediately bring it to the attention of a supervisor or Program Administrator. Staff or volunteers should not question a minor, accuse an individual of engaging in child abuse or neglect, or otherwise investigate concerns of child abuse or neglect.
