Question: 1 / 445

Which of the choices below does not represent a basis for filing a report in child protective cases?

Child's educational challenges

Filing a report in child protective cases is typically guided by the identification of direct threats to a child's safety and well-being. Options that indicate clear indicators of abuse, neglect, or immediate risk, such as abuse or neglect identification, a parent’s substance abuse posing a danger, or an imminent threat to the child, are well-established bases for reporting.

Focusing on the correct choice, a child's educational challenges, while they may indicate additional support needs or possible developmental concerns, do not directly correlate with abuse or neglect. Educational difficulties alone do not qualify as a justification for filing a report to child protective services unless they are accompanied by other significant factors indicating risk to the child's safety. Therefore, it is the lack of a direct threat to the child's physical or emotional safety that makes this choice not a valid basis for report filing.
