知道

Think about Braden and Bethany, whom you met in the Explore section of the previous lessons. Think about the day Max heard Caleb threaten Braden and call him a liar. Think about the day Bethany told Sasha about her experiences with Jonah. If these were children in your program, would you know what to do to help? Would you know exactly who to call and what to say? Would you take action like the staff members in the stories did?

在本课程结束时，我们希望您对所有这些问题都回答“是”。报告涉嫌虐待儿童虐待和忽视的具体程序和政策在各国各不相同MIL，服务和安装。本课程将概述报告程序，但您将负责识别本课程的应用部分中的特定报告程序。

报告国防部要求

如果您怀疑虐待儿童，请致电您的安装家庭宣传计划，您在陆军计划中的报告点（RPOC），或民用儿童保护服务是一种道德和法律义务。国防部政策部门，在许多情况下，联邦和州法律要求您报告涉嫌虐待儿童虐待。理想情况下，报告将在孩子受伤之前提前提前干预。以下信息将帮助您采取这一重要步骤联系FAP或CP，并了解如何评估这些呼叫。

How to report child abuse

如果您目睹暴力或知道某人是立即危险，如果您正在安装，请致电911或军警。

如果您怀疑虐待儿童或忽视，请致电您在陆军计划中的报告点（RPOC），安装FAP或当地民用CPS。您还可以致电报告热线或联系人的州儿童虐待Childhelp在1-800-4-a-child（1-800-422-4453）。

支持军事家庭的每台安装都有一个FAP联系点，以接收有关儿童安全和福利的呼叫。呼叫的数量在整个军事社区中公布。您还可以致电您的安装家庭支持中心或访问军事安装的网站以获取信息。

评估儿童虐待的报告

在大多数州，童话呼叫可以匿名到CPS或安装FAP。涉嫌滥用滥用时，一支球队将评估孩子的安全和福利。如果呼叫涉及军事家庭，儿童保护服务团队成员将联系安装FAP。

当家庭倡导程序人员得到call concerning the safety and welfare of a child, they ensure that everyone who is capable of protecting the safety and well-being of the child (the active duty member's commander, law enforcement, the medical treatment facility and CPS) is aware of the risk and protective factors that are affecting the family. These community members often work as a team to ensure that children are protected, the parents receive appropriate intervention and the family receives the services they need to be able to form more healthy relationships. FAP and CPS will not share the identity of the individual who made the report with the family.

平民CPS还回应有关儿童安全和福利的呼吁。他们很可能会访问被确定的孩子（他们可能会去孩子的学校或家），他们也将采访孩子的父母。如果他们确定没有滥用证据，那么情况很可能会关闭。在某些情况下，如果他们认为家庭的生活环境将它们处于滥用或忽视的风险，FAP或CP可以将家庭提交咨询。

If Child Protective Services determines that abuse or neglect did occur, the civilian family court system will become involved. Sometimes, the judge will appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the child's interests. This attorney will review all available information and evidence from law enforcement, FAP and CPS and make recommendations to the court based on what he or she believes is in the child's best interest.

如果涉及当地民用执法机构，并调查发现滥用发生，则可能会带来轻罪或重罪刑事指控。如果服务会员在民事法院定罪刑事犯罪，则军方仍可决定继续进行法庭武装审理或其他纪律处分，包括与该服务的分离。

儿童滥用国外赞助的设施或活动

The Department of Defense makes every effort to ensure the safety and well-being of children involved in Defense facilities such as schools, child development centers, or Department of Defense-sponsored activities, such as youth sports or recreation programs. This includes conducting thorough background checks and training all staff and volunteers involved with these facilities and programs.

如果辩护主管部门内的儿童性虐待报告，可能会分配家庭倡导指挥援助团队以提供立即回应。该团队有助于当地安装团队评估情况，制定调查策略，收集可能起诉的证据，满足受害者及其家庭的需求，并在设施或活动中恢复公众信心。

Families and visitors may report a suspicion of child abuse or neglect in a DoD sponsored activity by calling the DoD Child Abuse and Safety Hotline at 1-877-790-1197. If you work OCONUS, your supervisor or FAP will have the most recent contact information families or visitors can use. The DoD Child Abuse and Safety Hotline is a centrally managed line at OSD FAP during regular business hours to take reports involving suspicions of child abuse in DoD-sanctioned activities. The hotline is manned, 0730 to 1630, M-F, EST.

您的计划与安装家庭宣传计划经理合作，建立报告涉嫌儿童虐待和忽视的程序。这些程序陈述了向谁报告，提供哪些信息，以及报告后该做什么。确保您熟悉安装过程中的程序。在大多数情况下，您将首先向您的计划中的管理人员报告您的怀疑。管理层将通知监管机构（火，健康，安全，FAP）。儿童和青少年服务人员通过致电报告点（RPOC）并提供以下信息：

您的服务有具体的程序，描述您向谁报告，提供哪些信息，以及报告后该做什么。确保您熟悉安装过程中的程序。在“应用”部分中，您将有机会记录您的计划的具体程序。在美国空军计划中，您需要通过电话和写信给家庭倡导官员举报所有涉嫌儿童虐待和忽视。准备分享：

您的服务有具体的程序，描述您向谁报告，提供哪些信息，以及报告后该做什么。确保您熟悉安装过程中的程序。在“应用”部分中，您将有机会录制您的计划的具体程序。在海军计划中，必须向家庭宣传代表报告所有涉嫌虐待儿童虐待或忽视的所有事件。在美国大陆境内的安装，还必须向当地儿童保护服务提供一份报告。对于儿童性虐待的怀疑，必须立即向执法，家庭宣传计划，当地儿童保护服务和安装指挥官提出立即报告。计划经理必须报告海军儿童和青少年计划中的儿童性或身体虐待，儿童忽视或严重事故的所有指控，通过区域计划经理。

您的服务有具体的程序，描述您向谁报告，提供哪些信息，以及报告后该做什么。确保您熟悉安装过程中的程序。在“应用”部分中，您将有机会记录您的计划的具体程序。In Marine Corps programs, the Component Commander/Commander Supporting Establishment has developed a plan of action for forwarding all reports of child abuse or neglect to Commandant of the Marine Corps (MR). Follow your installation’s reporting procedures. Be prepared to share:

If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, you must make a report to local Child Protective Services or law enforcement. You can find out where to call by visiting the Child Welfare Information Gateway’s state reporting numbers website:https://www.childwelfare.gov/organizations/?cwigfunctionsaction=rols:main.dsplist&rolype=custom&rs_id=5

拨打与您所相关的报告编号并提供以下信息：

• 受害者的名字
• 父母或监护人的姓名和联系信息
• 怀疑虐待或忽视的原因
• 受害者身体伤害的描述和位置（如适用）
• 受害者自由披露的信息
• Current location of victim
• 关于事件发生或年表的已知信息

After the Call

Reporting suspected child abuse or neglect can be a stressful event. It is important to mentally prepare yourself for what happens after the call.

在大多数州，您的报告将由儿童保护服务进行评估。如果有足够的证据来保证调查，案例工人将启动调查。可能会联系和接受任何了解孩子的儿童，家庭，教师和其他了解孩子的其他人。CPS将确定是否证明了索赔，以及儿童是否在家中是安全的。如果滥用滥用报告涉及所谓的犯罪行为，将联系执法，并将共同进行调查。

On military installations, the following will occur after a report has been made:

收到报告后，FAP必须立即并立即向适当的民用机构报告，按照国家或主办国家规定所要求的安装和地方当局之间的谅解备忘录（MOU）。在美国的大多数社区，儿童保护服务（CPS）是指在收到儿童虐待报告的原子能机构。海外，主持人的部队协议状况（沙发）的状况定义了如何处理在设施上犯下犯罪的调查和起诉。

FAP.will complete a social work assessment of the incident and will present the information to the installation Incident Determination Committee (formerly known as the Case Review Committee). The IDC is composed of installation legal, law enforcement, and social work staff, and the command representative for the agency or sponsor. The installation medical staff and civilian CPS agencies and their counterparts in host countries may participate as well to provide information on incidents that involve their response. This committee is responsible for making a determination of whether the incident meets the DoD definition of child abuse or neglect. If the incident meets the criteria (substantiated), FAP develops a treatment plan for the child and family as appropriate. FAP coordinates with law enforcement authorities to assess the referral. FAP is an important team member of the coordinated response to suspected child abuse and neglect. At the same time, FAP in coordination with CPS takes steps to protect the child and provide the family with counseling or other assistance.

当涉嫌性虐待的报告涉及在美国或海外安装的家庭护理环境中涉及多个受害者，国防部可能部署一个家庭倡导指挥援助团队（Facat）。根据指挥官的监督，FACAT协助调查，评估和案例管理。

When a report of suspected abuse involves a staff member, the alleged offender will be reassigned to a position without child contact until a determination is made if the referral meets or does not meet the criteria or definition of child abuse or neglect. Once you have made a report to your RPOC, you have fulfilled your legal reporting requirements. After a report, your RPOC will:

• Notify the Military Police if they have not already been notified.
• Notify the Chief, SWS/CRC chairperson, so a timely report can be made to the commander and a case manager assigned.
• Notify the local Inspector General’s office in allegations involving general officers, promotable colonels, and Senior Executive Services civilians.
• 当报告涉及儿童和青年服务季度或基于设施的行动或涉及儿童和青年服务员工时，涉及儿童滥用行为时通知儿童和青年服务协调员。
• 通知家庭宣传计划经理，该计划经理负责通知命令链。
• Based on local memorandums of agreement with a host nation, local child protective services, and local law enforcement, the RPOC may have additional notification requirements.

无论您在哪里或在哪里工作，您都不可能听到您的报告结果。保密法保护家庭的隐私。还知道，在指控虐待之后，家庭从计划中撤出孩子并不罕见。学龄儿童感到尴尬并对返回该计划感到紧张也不少见。您所作的报告可能是您对孩子局势的最后一段信息，但您应该感到有信心满足您的责任。如果孩子和家庭留在您的计划中，您的团队可以通过专注于加强家庭和社区的保护因素来继续帮助和支持家庭。

有时工作人员担心他们可以被起诉或惩罚提出报告。不是这种情况。您是法律保护的作为一个授权的记者。一个家庭无法善于诚信地提出报告。同样，您无法根据您的计划中善意进行报告。

Common Concerns that Prevent School-Age Staff Members from Making Reports:

我们住在一个小社区。我的报告会毁了父母的职业生涯吗？

学龄计划工作人员有时担心报告涉嫌虐待儿童或忽视可能会影响a服务会员职业或让个人“被解雇”。这可以使工作人员犹豫不决，但你应该知道FAP和命令想要保证虐待虐待的受害者。但他们也希望通过他们的育儿问题帮助家庭工作，因此服务会员可以在尽可能开发更健康的关系并留在军事服务中。思考家庭成员的军事职业生涯会发生什么，没有对报告涉嫌虐待儿童虐待或忽视的要求没有合法。

When an allegation of child abuse meets criteria for the Department of Defense definition of abuse or neglect, the FAP assesses the needs of the child and family and recommends a treatment plan. Commanders have sole discretion in determining any administrative or disciplinary action taken against active duty abusers. The commander will consider advice from legal counsel and evidence presented by law enforcement before making a decision. Although the military prefers to help families and retain service members, in some cases a service member will be separated due to the severity of the abuse, results of military or civilian court proceedings, or the service member's failure to comply with treatment recommendations and orders from command.

我不想“转入”我的同事

When you suspect a co-worker or program partner of child abuse or neglect, you might find yourself in an uncomfortable situation. You might feel like you are “turning in” your co-worker, and this is hard. Remember, though, that it is your job to keep children safe. You are a mandated reporter and must report your suspicions. Failure to do so can have devastating consequences for children and for yourself. Remember, you cannot be retaliated against in the workplace for your report. Talk to someone you trust if you need support.

报告滥用或忽视如何影响您

You will feel a range of emotions after making a report: frustrated, angry, disappointed, nervous, relieved. All of these emotions are expected. Make sure you talk to someone to help you deal with the emotions you are feeling. The following video helps explain what you might experience after a report and how you can get help.

现在了解呼叫后要期待的内容。

做

当您在课程中学到的时，您有责任报告疑似滥用或忽视的案例。识别施虐者不是你的工作。如果您怀疑滥用，您需要做的就是制作报告并允许调查人员完成工作。

• 观察儿童滥用或忽视的迹象。
• 熟悉您所在国家的报告程序MIL, host nation, or installation。
• Post reporting procedures or know where they are posted in your program.
• Prepare yourself for the call. Be sure you have the correct spelling of the child’s legal name, the address of the child’s parents or guardians, and all the details outlined earlier in this lesson.
• If you suspect abuse or neglect, you can call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453). This line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can help you find emergency resources.
