Name the types of third parties who typically report child neglect or abuse to authorities. When children are hurt physically, emotionally, or sexually, it is called child abuse. Children are known to be neglected when they don't get the proper attention they need. When children are neglected or abused in any way, it is the responsibility of others to report such acts to the authorities based on what they have witnessed first hand or signs of abuse or neglect found after the fact, these people who report such acts are known as third parties. The authority responsible for reporting child abuse or neglect is called Child Protected Services, also known as Child Welfare. After the abuse or neglect is reported, the relevant authorities will investigate to see whether the abuse or neglect is legitimate or fraudulent (Sedlak, 2001). There are so many people who could be considered third parties obligated by state laws to report any type of negligence or abuse to the appropriate authorities. To get to the point, some of the third parties who undertake to report child abuse or neglect in a professional setting are doctors, dentists, teachers, police officers, day care workers, priests, lawyers, therapists or counselors and etc... Sometimes professionals considered third parties have the advantage of whether or not to report child abuse or neglect to the competent authorities. Other people who may be considered third parties include family members, family friends, and co-workers, but in most cases these groups of people may have difficulty doing so due to family ties to the perpetrator (Hess & Orthmann, 2010). there are some items of concern that first responders s...... middle of paper ...... do not bring while officers can get information from informants, most of the time when informants know they can get some kind of agreement from the police will answer the question of who could be involved in all the crimes sought and this also includes those who steal cars (Hess & Orthmann, 2010).
