To notify the school..?

[AllOpinionsAreMyOwm]

Checking through DC phone recently (school ask us to do this!) I came across text messages from my DC and one of their friends. Their friend speaks in some detail about their dad hitting and being generally abusive to their mum.

Felt uneasy but I haven't said anything; thought it's none of my business if between two adults.

Now DC friend has apparently not been at school for a few days. Asked DC why and DC wasn't sure but said the friend came in with a huge bruise.

Do I tell the school about the texts? WWYD?

Well done. Hope it adds to the info.

Of course you should report OP. They might need to build a picture and those texts messages may prove crucial. You say it's none of your business but a woman is getting abused, and domestic violence is a leading killer of women in the uk. Sounds like the child is being abused too. There's no question you should tell school.
