The decision to not report previous signs of abuse may have been further impacted by an overall distrust of the child protection system, as some child care facilities perceive that nothing is done when they do report child abuse and neglect. Often times the relationship that is developed between caregivers and child care staff influences staff's mental model of when to make child protection reports as to not second guess the parent's explanation of how injuries occurred, further justifying staff's decisions to not report signs of suspected child abuse.  The cumbersome process of calling to report child abuse that includes long waits and calls being held in the que for lengthy periods of time also affects child care agencies not reporting signs of suspected abuse and neglect to the local agency.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 1:33:13 pm","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 1:33:13 pm","id":34335}
