To ask whether my therapist will be required to report this

My child half admitted to me that her father and his gf hit each other. She refused to give any details at all.

I told my therapist. My therapist said, "you know that would be child abuse???"

I explained that I know this, but I don't know for sure whether it is happening. I also explained that I have encouraged my child to tell the school or my child's therapist if they are scared of dad or if grown ups are hurting each other or anyone else.

YABU - No, obviously this is total hearsay with no specific details and it would be mad to report

YANBU - Yes. Your therapist has probably already reported.

(*In case this sounds familiar - the general topic of the abuse is also covered in another thread)

I have done some research, and haven't found any clear info on mandatory reporting obligation thresholds. Frustrating.
