tell them how to spot signs for child abuse/neglect, eg. having a classmate always come in in unwashed clothes and rarely being clean themselves. a friend only having moldy bread to eat at home. being in charge of looking over younger siblings and managing the household at 8 years old. seeing bruises or burns on a kid. hearing someone mention they're scared of going home. not hearing it but having someone always tag along and postpone going home, even if they realise it's uncomfortable for others.
just a friendly reminder, they don't teach this stuff at school and kids can't tell they're being mistreated if no one tells them what counts.
