Encouraging anyone who suspects child abuse to report it as soon as possible, Dan Lipman hopes to bring awareness of the severity of the issue – and offer experienced legal help for survivors and families.
The pandemic has seen a worrying decrease in the number of child abuse cases reported, a trend which seems to be maintained post-pandemic, according to recent figures.
Urging parents, guardians, and anyone who suspect potential child abuse to report it as soon as possible, Abuse Guardian’s Rhode Island advocate and experienced personal injury attorney Dan Lipman is hoping to bring much-needed awareness of an issue with potentially devastating consequences for those affected.
Children who experience abuse - especially during a very young age - are at higher risks of depression, suicide, and becoming involved in criminal activity later in life, among others.
With the risks growing the more the abuse goes on, early reporting can make a substantial difference when it comes to successful recovery - and, in Rhode Island, is also required by law.
“Reporting requirements for instances of suspected child abuse in Rhode Island are mandatory for certain professionals, such as teachers, medical professionals, and social workers,” explains Dan. “These professionals have a legal obligation to report any signs or suspicions of child abuse to the appropriate authorities. Failure to report can result in civil and criminal penalties.
