Child Abuse
Child abuse is defined by law as harm or threatened harm to a child's health and safety by a person responsible for the child's health and safety. This includes parents, guardian, foster parent, or a person 18 years of age or older with whom the child's parent cohabitates, or any other adult residing in the home of
the child. State law requires every health care professional, teacher, and every OTHER person who has reason to believe that a child under 18 is being abused or neglected, or is in danger of being abused or neglected, MUST report the suspicion of abuse promptly to the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. The Statewide 24-hour Child Abuse Hotline is 1-800-522-3511.

Bullying Prevention
Bullying Definition for Elementary Students & Families: (Flower Mound students are taught the definition of bullying is any mean words or actions that hurt a person's body, feelings, or belongings. They are also taught that bullying is happening when someone repeatedly and on purpose hurts another person. This is the criteria for reporting a bullying incident. All reports are immediately investigated and consequences determined. All staff are trained yearly with bullying prevention and reporting procedures. Please contact me if you suspect bullying or child abuse. Jancy Toombs, FMS Counselor, 580-353-4088.
