Do you know the mother at all? That's not a lot of information to go off of, but I might reach out with something like "it might be nothing, but this is what traveled back to me & I thought I'd run it by you"

I am a mandated reporter so I would report. Me too but I hesitated because it was through my 1st grader. I dont want to cause harm to a family unnecessarily. Thx McBenny |

The parent I asked I know well from church. But she just happens to drive the student in question to school because her residence is on the way and the mom asked on the parent board for help with morning commute but not pick up |

Thx McBenny Then there really is no option. Call CPS and inform the school. Hopefully it is nothing, but you could be saving this girl of it is something. |

Maybe it’s nothing. But maybe it is. I would report it.
Edited to say I understand the hesitation and putting someone through that if it’s nothing. But on the flip side it could be something and I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing I didn’t speak up.

I am kicking myself for having hesitations but glad I didn't ignore. |

koko don’t be hard on yourself for hesitating. It’s big to blow up someone’s life and hesitation is natural. I’m glad she’s getting help and I’m proud of you for listening to your gut.

I know it's nerve wrecking to do. Just know a predator is now behind bars. Focus on that part.
