I saw a woman abuse her son, should I tell the police?

I snuck into an empty house to steal some stuff (Don't judge me) and while I was there the owners were coming back in and I hid in the closet, while looking out from the closet the mother who looked young proboably 19 or so was with her son a 3 year old, her son wet himself and she got mad and hit him across the face very hard, he was crying alot and his face was all red, she then went upstairs and the kid was just sitting on the floor crying, I felt very bad for him, after like 15 minutes of so he went upstairs then I got out of the house, Should I call the police? I am afraid that if I call then I would get arrested, what should I do?

All you have to do is file an anonymous report. You can do this from a payphone. Be brief, and give the location, you have a responsibility to report. But then again someone who is willing to victimize someone else, isn't on the responsible side of reporting a 3 year old being beaten.

Don't judge you? You're a thief. The mother disciplined the child, something you should have had done years ago, maybe you wouldn't have ended up a no good thief.

Don't judge you?Are you kidding?Who would believe a thief?

Is it worth getting arrested for?

Honestly I dont know if the DA would even believe you but you never know........

She may not know how to discipline her child properly, but a smack in the face is HARDLY abuse.

When you see her beat him with a wrench...CALL THE POLICE.

was the house empty or just that the ownerrs were not home, coz if it was empty what was there to steal???

Anyways, child abuse is never OK. Call CPS, give the address and say you heard a kid scream and like he was being beat in the house, that might save the kid.
Do it today, if the story is real!!!

usually there are 1-800 hotlines you can report things anonymously.

mr. y

aslap across the face to three year old for wetting his pants?yah probably wrong. but answer this for yourself .you as a thief break into a house to steal a precious ring only to find out there was already a thief in the progress of taking it.do you leave and call the cops?on him/her.

CHEESY â™¥

Report it anonymously then get your head out of your *** and straighten up!

I would inform the police or at least social services. If I were you I would feel terrible and never forgive myself if something happened to that little boy and you could have prevented it. I know that it is difficult with all the laws these days with child abuse but you might find someone that will help!!
Shame on you for trying to steal something!!!! what are you thinking -- DONT JUDGE YOU????

You should call Child Protective Services. They won't be worried about why you are were in the house.

I'm not judging you; I'm telling you that stealing is wrong.

I don't know. If you hadn't been in there in the first place you wouldn't have this problem.

I would call and let them know what happen...so they can check out the situation to see if abuse is suspected.

Step up and do the right thing.

Call child protective services. May not be much help if you live in Florida.
