To ask whether my therapist will be required to report this

[Vinividivici]

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)

Really tough re: devices and no expectation of privacy. Even just talking about people she can ask for help from e.g security at an airport or any medical staff. For example if she was taken to A&E with an injury and dad was giving a fake cause for the injury. She could go along with it and then tell him she needed the toilet and then find someone and say “help my father who I am with caused these injuries. I need to be away from him”. I know that is insane to even plan for… sending hugs.
