The simple act of reporting does not, thankfully, require us to stand up against all of the injustices of the world. It requires us to act according to our own moral compass. There are myriad avenues to reporting and supporting families and children. How we stand up for our moral convictions certainly depends on our current community resources and the circumstances relating to the child. Not every report is answered in the way that we think it should be. But I do believe that each time we access our own internal truth and apply our moral compass, acting in the best of all involved and the greater good, we do brighten the world for everyone.
