So Angry I'm Shaking

It's been a while since I've been this angry, possibly since I worked at the airline-- I just tried to call in suspected child abuse to the DeKalb County DFCS and they laughed at me. Passed me around the office and LAUGHED at me. Apparently I shouldn't have wrestled with this decision, gathered evidence like I've been taught to, and called with precise facts about the symptoms of abuse. Apparently I shouldn't have cared that I'm a required reporter and therefore required under penalty of law to report any and all suspected child abuse. Thankfully Jeremy was here, so if this thing goes to court I at least have a witness that I tried to call and was laughed off the line. "Well, tell the child's parents to call us for help." was the response. I'm sorry, but if the family is going through a hard time, calling DFCS to get laughed at is not what I'm going to tell them to do.
