    Explanation
    If there is no suspected abuse or neglect, staff do not need to contact CYFD.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    School personnel, such as teachers, administrators, and directors, are not allowed to transport a student who has expressed suicidal ideation. This responsibility falls on the parents or, if they cannot be reached, law enforcement. This policy is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of the student, as transporting them without proper training or support could potentially worsen the situation and put them at risk. Therefore, the statement is true.

  • 6. 

    Staff who suspect child abuse may contact CYFD without approval from the administrator or director.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Staff who suspect child abuse have a legal and ethical responsibility to report it. In many jurisdictions, including the United States, reporting suspected child abuse is mandatory. Therefore, staff members are not required to seek approval from their administrators or directors before contacting the appropriate authorities, such as CYFD (Child, Youth, and Family Department), to report their concerns. This ensures that child abuse cases are promptly addressed and investigated, prioritizing the safety and well-being of the child involved.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    CYFD does not act on suicide threats unless they are accompanied by suspected child abuse or neglect.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    CYFD, which stands for Children, Youth, and Families Department, is an organization that deals with child welfare. According to the statement, CYFD does not take action on suicide threats unless there is also suspected child abuse or neglect involved. This means that if a suicide threat is made without any indication of child abuse or neglect, CYFD will not intervene. Therefore, the statement is true.
