James is a social worker who is assessing the needs of Brian and Cynthia, who have both been struggling with drug abuse and joblessness. James notices that Brian and Cynthia's son Adam is silent, won't look directly at his parents, and flinches when Brian speaks. He also notices a nasty bruise on the back of Adam's neck. When he asks Brian and Cynthia about it, Cynthia looks away and won't speak, and Brian says, It's nothing. Kids get bruises.
What should James do if he suspects child abuse?
a) Tell Cynthia and Adam to leave with him immediately.
b) Make a note of his suspicion and then gather more evidence.
c) Report everything he witnessed to the proper authority.
d) Warn Brian of the severe penalties for child abuse.
