So I have an uncomfortable question to ask- I have a trashy co-worker who's a huge loud mouth bitch. She tells the whole office her business. Usually I just ignore it because I don't care and it's none of my business.
Lately she's been talking about some obnoxious fucked up shit. She's talked about how she and her bf drive with her kids in the car after they've been drinking "but aren't to the point of being fucked up" pretty stupid but whatever. Anyway she shares some of the most vile disturbing shit the other day about how she caught her nephew doing sexual stuff with her daughter like finger in the vagina.
I don't want to go to HR about it because it will just get me in trouble. Would I be out of line to report it to CPS? This lady sounds like she has no business having children. [Reply]

I mean usually I don't think family business is strangers business but fuck when you put it out there like that. Maybe I grew up in a sheltered home or something but I found what I heard totally disgusting
They will probably dismiss what you say, thinking you’re a jilted ex boyfriend who regrets shitting where he eats. [Reply]
Yes, above all anyone who hurts a child… physically, emotionally or mentally should be held accountable to the greatest extent of the law. I have no time for pieces of shit that harm children. Way too many get away with it. [Reply]

Same. Your advice is spot on in this thread.
Katipan has really jumped the shark here lately. [Reply]

What do you think the Kansas City police department is?
And I’m not saying that the actual officers on the streets are necessarily bureaucratic but, it is a government agency and bureaucracy is certainly part of the equation. They are certainly understaffed; their hands are often tied by legal and bureaucratic red tape; DA’s either don’t prosecute who they should, or go for lighter sentences than they should and the perps are right back out on the streets for the cops to chase down all over again; there is a sky high murder rate and plenty of other violent crimes taking place on the streets that keep the officers plenty occupied.
I’m not advocating one method of reporting over another, I’m merely pointing out that unless you can provide a credible tip of time and place that the molestation is going to actually happen, the notion that a simple report is going to lead to the cops busting down the door and saving the day like you see out of Hollywood is a but Polyannish.

I'm good with that.
He knew the kid was under 10.
He didn't want to be an asshole.
He knows OTHER THINGS not fit for a message board.
When asked if he would feel better his response was "DEPENDS ON THE OUTCOME"
This thread is about attention.
You got played. [Reply]

It IS your business if it is the welfare of a child. I personally know one of Jerry Sandusky's victims. He has told me that he just wanted someone to know what was going on but didn't know how to say it.
Not only are you NOT an asshole for reporting suspected child abuse, it is your duty as a human being with a beating heart. Even if it turns up she was blowing smoke, it is worth it to do your part to help those kids. If she somehow were to find out it was you (in my state reporting is anonymous to the victims and perpetrator, as I'm pretty sure it is everywhere), well fuck her. Maybe she should shut her big dumb whore mouth.
It's been pretty well covered here already but I just wanted to add my voice to this and encourage you to report what you know. People who hurt children are subhuman and deserve severe consequences. [Reply]
