aren’t teachers mandated reporters? seems like a call to CPS is in order…

They were called yesterday and did not take the situation seriously. They showed up 1.5 hours after the school day had ended so we had no option to get him to safety. They were called again this morning and there was no issue with his safety, but we've since followed up and emphasized that there is. We're doing everything by the book and as firmly as we can. It's just really tough.

as someone who has had to call CPS a lot i encourage you and anyone else in a situation like this to bother the living hell out of CPS and ask for their supervisors. some of the screeners are just not good and if it’s close enough to when they’re about to go home some will basically refuse to deal with it because they don’t want to stay late. they’re still short staffed in the city so it doesn’t help but call them as much as is needed in order for them to do something

Yes we had to force the issue quite a bit with a supervisor today and it was still an unsatisfying conclusion today. We'll continue putting pressure on them. Thank you for sharing your experience!
