If a neighbor tells you that she saw her next door neighbor's child being beaten by the mother with a broom leaving welts on his back, as a child protection professional you should?

Do nothing as it is hearsay
Tell the neighbor to mind their own business
Help the neighbor to call the child abuse hotline
Confront the parent directly

The correct answer is: Help the neighbor to call the child abuse hotline

Child abuse is a serious issue that should not be ignored or dismissed. In this scenario, even though the information was received from a third party, it is still important to take action to ensure the safety and well-being of the child. Option A and B are not appropriate responses, as it is important to take any potential reports of child abuse seriously. Confronting the parent directly may not be the safest course of action and could potentially escalate the situation. Calling the child abuse hotline is the most effective and responsible action for a child protection professional to take in this situation.
