How to Respond to a Minor Disclosing Abuse

  • Listen
  • Be sensitive to vague disclosures
  • Avoid expressing shock or outrage
  • Don't threaten or condemn the alleged perpetrator
  • Let the minor know you believe him/her
  • Tell the minor she/he was right to disclose
  • Assure the minor the abuse was not his/her fault
  • Reassure the minor that she/he will be safe
  • Avoid questions that could make the minor feel responsible. Get as many details as the minor is comfortable disclosing
  • Write down exactly what the minor said, noting the minor’s demeanor and appearance
  • Follow authorized reporting procedures
