This is a legal mandate, not a discretionary choice.
Before reporting, ensure thorough objective documentation. Describe each injury using factual details: exact location, size in centimeters, shape, and color. Use body diagrams or photographs per facility protocol. Avoid subjective terms like "abusive injury" in the medical record.
Do not confront or accuse the caregiver. This can escalate the situation and compromise the child's immediate safety. Your role is to provide care, document, and report, not to investigate. Never delay reporting to gather more evidence; reasonable suspicion is the threshold.
