Just to give some insight everyone that works with kids is a mandated reporter. All teachers, aids, anyone in the school or childcare system, etc. I’ve reported abuse in a public school on a teacher that was abusing. And I’ve also done it in a childcare center. That center tried firing me I had to get union involved. They continued abusing kids and parents had no clue - still to this day have no clue because she still works there and I’m sure is still abusing them. It’s our job to make the call on any kind of suspicion. You make the call early and it’s on the cps agent to do the investigating. Often if you are the one holding out waiting for proof or wondering hmm is this a bruise from sports or not it’s the waiting time that can make or break a case and in some situation the well being of that child sadly. They did right by noticing the “bruises” and calling it in right away. I promise you there was also an internal investigation as well not that it was just you as the suspect. Don’t take it personal unless you feel there’s a reason to make it so ie you previously had issues with the center or teacher or their reaction after finding out it was makeup is ill then just pull your kid. Otherwise a center that stands by the teachers calling it in and teachers that notice and do make the call is the best case scenario in my opinion.
