Frank is your student you notice bruises on him every now and then but you put it off as ‘him playing and getting hurt’ I mean he’s 9 years old what do u expect?

today he comes in with obvious bruises from assault he has purple and black bruises on his neck and chest and arms he’s embarrassed and trying to hide them but while ur teaching you catch a glimpse of them

he’s sat at the back more tired than usual he’s quiet not talking to friends and sad looking while he keeps his head down
