Physical or sexual assault- as in the case of the Jon Benet tragedy- yes, of course there are forms of child abuse ( and by extension prisoner-suspect mishandling) that do not do visible damage to the human body- there are techniques of administering slaps and so on to parts of the body which will not show direct signs of abuse=- for example the so-called Knuckle Soup sometimes used by teachers- that does not leave permanent marks. it is still wrong.

Who is required by the law to report child abuse?
Public school teachers and administrators in most states are required to report child abuse if they are told about it or see evidence of it themselves.

This is to prevent parents or guardians from being prosecuted for bogus charges.
What do you do if you suspect your narcissistic ex-boyfriend did something indecent with your infant daughter but you couldn't prove it?
The only thing you can do is to bring the child into a pediatrician and have them examine the child for abuse. Tell them you suspect someone and ask that they check for internal scratches or any evidence of abuse. If there is abuse, have it documented and press charges. If the doctor cannot find anything, then there isn't a case. In the future, unless you fully trust your boyfriends, do not allow them alone time with your child.

Who is the dental office is legally required to report child abuse?
If would think so, they are medical professional. they should do it morally anyway**Any practicing Medical or Dental provider that suspects child abuse legally and ethically HAS to report it or face penalties or suspension of his or her license. By the same token, Registered Dental hygeineists (RDH), Certified Dental Assistants, Teachers, Nurses, attorneys and anyone working with children or working as a childcare provider are also legally and ethically responsible to report child abuse even if they only suspect it. Most medical providers learn in an ethics class that they are a voice (of sorts) of a minor.
