If a professional fails to report potential abuse, it’s on them, and it’s a CRIME. Thanks your legislators.

The days are long gone when a family doctor was intimately knowledgeable of the families he or she was treating for years and years. So often, those doctors knew the daily habits and lifestyles of their patients and when a kid came in with out-of-the-ordinary injuries, it was fairly obvious someone had knocked the kid around. Now everyone must be assumed guilty of abusing their child until they prove otherwise so they can help those who are. Nevermind of course the invasion of privacy, false accusations, and social stigma that follows even a single false accusation.

All very well. Still, they have no right to assume abuse. They were told the situation. By the adult whose finger was half chopped off.

So where do they get off treating my wife like a child, and me as a leper?

The law is one thing, but before they start tossing innuendo and accusations around, they need to know what they are doing. Which means more than reading an article in Psychology Today and thinking they are ready to do God's work.
