Late-night vent

[maucat]

I hate calling CPS. I'm on the phone with them now because one of my clients let me read a letter from his ex-girlfriend wherein she told him, very briefly, of sexual and physical abuse she experienced.

I was on hold with CPS for at least 30 minutes to make the report. When I get in tomorrow I get to file the written follow up. Whee.

So I don't sound like a total heartless bitch, I know that this information has already been reported. However, as a mandated reporter I HAD to report as soon as I received that information.

I'm sorry. That must be hard.

That sounds awful. I'm sorry you have to hear about it and report it. You don't sound heartless, you just sound like that's not the way you wanted to end your day. I really don't blame you for that.

You don't sound heartless at all. I wish more people would report abuse. Too many people let it slide.
