YSK that you don't need hard evidence to report abuse
Why YSK: People tend to think that you need evidence or even an accusation from the victim to report child/adult/elder abuse. You do not. The state will decide what level of investigation is necessary based on what is provided, which is often just filing a report when there isn't much to go on, but when in doubt, report. This could save someone's life. You can also report anonymously as long as you are not a mandated reporter and a lot of states have an online form.
Caveat: don't abuse the system only report if you actually suspect, not to get someone in trouble.
