What to do and not to do
1st Talk to the child, if he studders or is looking down, maybe he isn't looking you in the eyes . You will know that he is being abused, or she.
2nd Do not call the parents, they could be the ones doing it, and if they go home that day you may see them the next day with another wound.
3rd and most of all, do call social services or the nearest police station.
