I work part time in a library now. A day care center has been coming in on Friday mornings for story time. The kids are around 3, I would guess. This last Friday, one girl was trying to tell the teacher something. The teacher was yelling loudly -- in the library-- at the little girl. Then the teacher reached over and slapped her. Then they continued to the story hour with the little girl crying. My boss and I looked at each other in total shock.

wow. I'd have told all the parents what was happening! No way would I ever let kids be treated like that. (not saying you did/didn't, simply giving my pov).

I'd also have refused to let them leave the library and would have immediately called the cops. Did no one do anything when she slapped the child except stare? I don't know how else to say this, but why the obsession w/ anonymous reporting. How is it going to help the child who's being abused if you have to wait around to find out the info instead of immediately reporting it?
