Question - Ava (4 years) attends the centre five days a week. She is the eldest of two children. She lives with mum and dad and her baby brother Edward (8 months old). Today you were helping her onto the centre's fort with your hands around her torso when she said "Ouch". You asked her what hurts and she said. "Nothing its ok". During water play Ava became soaked so she went inside to change her clothes.
After she removed her dress, you noticed she had bruising around her right rib and what looks like four cigarette burns on the tops of her legs. You asked again "How did you get these". Ava held up her dress to cover herself and said "go away you can't look at that". Grandma said it's a secret.
You know Ava's parents very well. They are related to your next-door neighbour and you have socialised at BBQ's a number of times. Ava's dad didn't mention anything about Ava's injuries this morning upon arrival to the centre.
