Who do you report abuse to first school or police if it is a teacher?

First, you should tell the police. If you tell the school, they may tip off the abuser, and they could take steps to ensure the police are never told. The school may try to cover it up. The police can conduct an investigation and determine if charges are warranted, and get any victims the proper help and support that they need. Another option is to contact a child advocacy center, who will be able to interview the child or children once and report their findings to the police. They can also make referrals to proper help for the child and the child's family.
