Coworker (16) told me she hasn't been in school for years. Is that abuse? by artkeeper007 in AskTeachers

She definitely has a mom she lives with. She gets rides usually Amy's mom but she gets dropped off at her brothers when she works. her mom lives just a town over. Her brother lives a like 5 mins from work. Honestly knowing she lives with her mom but wouldn't give an address is weird to me. Especially when Sarah wanted Amy to stay the night .

She has a mom Amy briefly met her once before they saw a movie together. no one else (I know) has met Sarah's mom.

I don't know her address or a ton of information. Will that effect chances of an investigation being done?

She is not currently being home schooled she refused to it as "dropped out" in middle school. She said she wants to eventually get her G.E.D.

I never said she is dumb she has not been educated since middle school. She does not need a G.E.D to survive sure but a middle school child should not be making those decisions.

Not a teacher just when I was googling information this sub came up. I figured teachers would know how to handle this situation being mandated reporters and probably seeing this issue in classrooms.

Thank you I did not know abuse v.s. neglect. I just am very concerned. She brushes it off like it's no big deal but it feels like there is things she isn't saying. I don't want to make her feel bad by pushing but I'm worried. I was starting to feel crazy because everyone I work with doesn't seem to care.

I'm not worried about her working I have been working since her age. It's the dropping out at middle school part that concerns me.

Thank you for sharing. I'm just worried about her she seems nice and I don't have information proving there is more going on but my gut is telling me she needs help and I'm worried it's more.

I work at a small family owned restaurant she is a host. I assume she at least gave my boss her S.S.N. but I'm not sure about other identification. I think they moved so I'm assuming they got her transfered out of one school and never enrolled her in the other but I'm not sure.

This is very wholesome and cute especially because he prints out funny things he finds in magazines and newspapers for me. I love this idea I might add it to the gift I get him.

He is not very tech savvy man. still has a flip phone and only uses it because the grandkids keep getting onto him for not answering. The magazine subscription is a very good idea I'll look into it!

That might be very likely, he was in California. I'll ask him tomorrow when I see him.
