I found out recently that I had a student who was abused by her father. This happened like 3 years ago while her parents were getting divorced. She was a little on the quiet side, I think a little anti- social almost but we thought it was because of the home situation. When I found out about it now I was (and am still) devastated. I wish I had known and could have done something about it!! She is currently not living with her father but is also not in therapy for it and her mother does know that it happened.

I wonder if I have an obligation to tell the school or since it’s over and done with, just leave it be. I guess I should ask a rav this question. I mean is a rav the right person to ask a question like this to? If not, who do I ask?

Thanks:)
