What my mom saw had an ID number on it. No other demographics. And she was grading from multiple states. So do what? Contact her local police? With a written accusation from a child? Is that enough to get a warrant to force the company to release the demographic information? And people don't work at a job like that because they want to. They work there because they need the money. Everything she took in and out of there was monitored, too. So it's not like she can go to the Xerox, and walk out of there with a copy. It's beyond dehumanizing. For everyone. The kid, the people who work there.

Yes, contact the local police so an investigation can get started. Yes, that’s enough to at least report it.

> So do what? Contact her local police? > With a written accusation from a child? Is that enough to get a warrant to force the company to release the demographic information? Absolutely! My girlfriend works as a counselor at a school and she is required by law to report all serious abuses by parents.

> So do what? Contact her local police? Collect or photograph all the evidence, record every conversation with supervisors, escalate as much as possible internally, then contact local police, and at the same time go to the media. Don't quit, but if necessary let them fire you and then sue. None of this is easy.

  When escalating I'm sure it'll be effective to say it'll be an interesting story for the news and how the incident is being blocked by supervisors that encourage child abuse.

If she did Xerox the disclosures, walked out, and said "please call the cops" when challenged, at least it would be a matter of public record

> So do what? Contact her local police? > With a written accusation from a child? Is that enough to get a warrant to force the company to release the demographic information? Yes, she should have absolutely went to the local police. A child's first hand account in writing of child abuse and neglect is slam dunk evidence to secure a warrant to link the essay ID to the individual child. > Everything she took in and out of there was monitored, too. So it's not like she can go to the Xerox, and walk out of there with a copy. Doesn't matter. She could have went to the police herself as a witness. That alone would be enough for a probable cause warrant to retrieve the essays. It is very sad she saw these signs of abuse and did not report it.
