A: Yes. You must report this incident. Failure to do so will subject you to Child And Protective Servíces Charges of child neglect and criminal Battery and neglect against your wife. Get medical help for your wife right away. This is a very serious matter. If you do not report and do nothing to prevent harm against your children and a neighbor or teacher reports you, your children will be sent to a foster home.
