Sometimes doing the right thing isn’t easy

Had a situation at work where as a mandated reporter I had to file a report and I know I needed to do it but this sucks. I feel horrible even though everyone says I shouldn’t

I'm a mandated reporter as well so I'm about to rock the boat myself.

@Tumbleweed it’s such a weird feeling knowing you did the right thing but that it could mess up someone’s whole life

@Hoodski Very much so but this woman let a blind man try to get to her by himself & he slipped on some ice & cut himself up pretty badly. She's supposed to get out of the van & come guide him to the vehicle.

@Tumbleweed was it???
Tumbleweed · F
@FreeorLonely Yes. It was him.
I almost cried. His face was cut up, his hands, his knee, there was blood everywhere....

@Tumbleweed oh wow, not impressed with that so called support worker. 😠

@FreeorLonely I called him this evening to check on him & I questioned him as to who she is, she's with a cab company so I told him I want the name of it.

@Tumbleweed ohhh so not a support worker, ya cab drivers don’t care. 😕

@Tumbleweed that’s crazy I don’t know how ppl can be so cruel

@FreeorLonely She picks him up regularly so she knows how he is.

@FreeorLonely Exactly. He just let her talk & when we got in the house he said she didn't tell me the truth. I said I already figured that.
