WeatherBound, Jafo is correct in fact. Reporting it would require them to divulge RadialFX's private info, and that would not be appropriate. We all eschew privacy violations (as in what the "P"RC does and others cooperated with). Handing over RadialFX's info would be such an action, and would most likely make WC "Lawyer Food".
I praise the members of the Forum for giving solid, appropriate advice to RadialFX.
I also praise RadialFX for accepting the advice gracefully, and implementing it correctly. His Counselor knows what to do with it, and is (as I am) legally bound to report it (assuming the laws where he is are the same as here).
It's also nice to know that he attended "The Zubaz Academy of Advanced Spelling".
Time to lighten up, and also time to assign him some Karma for his courage, grace and ability to do the right thing!
I run a childcare.
(as I am) legally bound to report it in the state I live in.
So as I am in the childcare business and read things like this. It frustrates me. I know that Wincustomize can not report it, For Political reasons like Jafo said above. So I said it out of frustration. Did not mean too.

I do also.

I gave him Karma as soon as he said This:
Well, I did report it to my counselor today and she's going to handle it from there. I ended with her last night just explaining that I wouldn't deal with the issues that I knew were on the horizon and that I thought it was just plain wrong. Don't get me wrong it wasn't easy because as luck would have it, other than these major issues, her and I got along great and had a really fun 3 yrs together.
At this point I'm just so disappointed that I never picked up on it before and I really do understand that she's in denial about it. If anyone doesn't know denial, to me it means that she really doesn't think that there's anything wrong with what is happening. I'm sure in her mind she thinks nothing of it. Obviously, stems from some stuff in her childhood. Either way, I really, really appreciate all of your input and it really confirmed what I was already thinking.
It's funny how sometimes even though you know somethings wrong you can actually question your own beliefs and standards. Again thanks to everyone and I'm sure when the crap hit's fan over there I'm gonna get an earfull.
I really hope the best for you and your kids. And I hope that she will get the help she and the kids needs.
My prayers go out to you
