Teachers: Back-to-School days can reveal if child has been abused over summer
https://blog.extraface.com/2024/08/07/wxd7jo43 HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In the hustle and bustle of starting school again, it may be easy for teachers and other school employees to overlook even the most obvious signs of child abuse. However, it is the first few days back at school that might be the most revealing when it comes to recognizing potential signs of abuse for a child who has spent the past few months in an abusive or neglectful home.

Groeneveld, director of training for the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance (PFSA).
