Unfortunately many students tell me about their living situations and it breaks my heart. I have never called CPS but maybe I should. Have you ever had to call CPS?

If it is dangerous or illegal, you don't get to decide; you have to report. If you are uncertain if it rises to that level, seek on campus advice like admin or social worker/counselor.
You were not clear about what you mean by living situations.
Only time I ever tried to report, they were already working on it.

Legally, you are REQUIRED to report the situation. It's never easy, but no matter what, EVERY teacher will go through this. Also, I would be caring toward the student, but Ts have to be smart about detaching these feelings when you leave work. It's not easy, but WE have OUR own life and OUR own problems. Take care.

Yup. Just got off the phone. I really do not like to but we are required by law if a student tells about abuse, even if we suspect it’s untrue

Yes. Required by law. If it’s a situation with indirect information or seems to have traveled through multiple individuals, then refer to counselor and administrators to help investigate further before calling.

I refer to admin for them to decide.

Yes, for a different reason.

Yes. For different reason. But I felt better because I tried to do something. As teachers, our hands r tied sometimes with what we can do to help. Make the call.

Absolutely!!! Being mandated reporters I’ve called and reported multiple people, including drunk pregnant underaged girl in this stooped ever weekend!!!!

Yes, at least once a year. It is the law here. If you suspect you report. proof is not needed.

several due to neglect. i don't think anything came of it, but it cleared my conscious. when in doubt report.

Yes. It never hurts to call.
