So teachers/cops are supposed to simply ignore when a kid tells them that mommy/daddy hit them? How about bruises or other marks. Just tell the kid to suck it up?
No, you call the appropriate government people to take care of it because that is what they are paid to do. Better yet call a church or United Way. THEY can investigate, make a determination IF anything is wrong and get the warrant. Cops should NEVER have to take these simple steps. On top of the obvious, so what if a kid got hit? If he was kicked, punched, or strangled then we have a crime,ergo; the cops.
