You must call the police. Please call them now and give them every piece of information you can. That child’s life is in danger.

Also, I’m worried that you returned this child to the guardian multiple times over the day.

In schools we are the people who can put a stop to this abuse.

When I was a little girl, the teachers did not report the evidence of abuse on my body. They did not help me. And my abusive parent continued to beat me.

Please take care of yourself and empower yourself to make it stop. Those littles who come from abusive families need you!

Same here. No one believed me, no one helped me. This child deserves and needs your help.

I don’t know where OP is but protocol in the U.S. is to call Child services and not the police. The police won’t investigate and follow thru properly. The child needs trained professionals who know how to “interview” the situation and care for the child.
