What people need to realize is that they don't need proof positive to call in abuse. They simply need to suspect abuse and call it in. Social services or other authorities are the ones that can then determine if the abuse is in fact real. Further, people can call in anonymously unless they are a mandated reporter (teachers, daycare providers, medical staff, photo developing studios, etc).

Also people need to realize that abuse isn't always obvious. Sometimes there are no marks. But again you don't need proof. So if you think a child is being abused or neglected, call and let the trained authorities do their job.
