And some way by tolling the statute of limitations if he or she commits a criminal offense. He is abused. President ial emergency declarations in ways i never thought that would happen to me in an emergency is and when the president doesnt get his way with congress an emergency is when theres an emergency.

A report is now showing the thousands of cases may be going unreported kron fours also come on and spoke with Sheila Boxley the president and ceo of the Child Abuse Prevention Center about this troubling trend given the fact that children are not in contact with those teachers and childcare providers except perhaps for actually in many places. We are believe that that is a key reason for the decrease in reports it does vary by we also know that the reports of Domestic Violence to go on up, but thats doles who can make a call and so we present this well at this point there is more abuse of children in the homes and they simply dont have a mechanism doing anything about it. Which is all the more alarming given that theyre not being seen in person its hard to tell whether a child is being abused not just physically but emotionally given these stressful times when a lot of the families environments is really exacerbating possibly that abuse. Yes, it certainly were also worried about neglect which is a form of child abuse we know that their parents to have to be working and they dont have access to childcare children may be left there are a number of ways the children may be in danger at this point and and families truly need support the parents need support at this point in time and is there any sort of advice for teachers as they are. Teaching remotely that they could possibly see there are a screen. Or ask something may be some sort of you know kids might not know what keywords depending on their age but how can they possibly try to figure this out as they are kept away from one another physically well certainly trying to to watch for signs of different changes in behavior or physical signs for withdrawal by the things that are unusual behaviors for the children. Obviously thats even more difficult now that theyre in another grade level and they probably have a new teacher that just know that children in the same way as the teacher who had been in the classroom with them. There are a number of places, including an apartment in education and office of child abuse prevention. Where there are some tips sheets for teachers that give them some information that might be helpful to them and what to look for.
