Moms, what if someone confronted you about a worry?

Absolutely. There is nothing more important than the child's safety. You should not be worrying about how the mother will take it, but about how dangerous this is for the child in question.

The mother needs to know when her child is in danger. Tread carefully if it's someone the mother trusts, but definitely go to her about it. If she doesn't believe you (and you are certain about it) go to the police. Make sure the child is safe.

I would want to know if my child was being abused. It is a constant worry. But that is me because i would be outraged and do everything in my power to take the child out of the situation. Of course i understand your fear. There are so many parents in denial. Another problem is getting help for the child. Perhaps they have actually tried to get help for the child in the past and something terrible became of it as a result.

I believe this is why abuse is so rampant as you say. Too many people are able to get away with it with little penalties once they are found out. This puts the parent and child in a real bind. Keep in mind who the abuser is and the entire situation.

Sometimes life has to run it's natural course. IT is sad but true.

I have been involved on the other side of the coin to where i have seen Mom's who knew their child was abused and the child actually told the Mom and the Mother did not believe the child.

Terrible thing.

If you are sure...you MUST tell them. If you cannot bring yourself to actually say it, put it in a letter. You can send it anonymously or put your name to it - your choice. Either way I cannot imagine that it would not be taken seriously. You MUST do something, but be very very sure of your facts before doing so. Even though you think that child abuse is rampant that doesn't change the fact that there are many men, women and families out there suffering due to false accusations.

as a mother if someone knew something about my child in that stature i would sit and tell them. because that's what true friends do. if take for an example they chose to ignore it i would then take it to the police and let them know because abuse on a child or any person for that matter is never ok

If you know this is defiantly happening to these kids, well the best thing for you to do is call Child Services and let them deal with this situation and hopefully it can be stopped. Let the parents find out this way, as it will leave your name out of it.

I would.I have tons of kids and i would tell them if they where being abused

They know, they just choose to block it out, or not believe it, because it might upset their own security and comfort.
