Supporting Children in Shelter<br />

Parents are responsible for<br />

their children.<br />

<strong>Volunteer</strong>s can never be alone with children of<br />

any age. All children under the age of 6 must be<br />

supervised at all times by their parents. Older<br />

children do not have to be in their parent’s sight at<br />

all times, but it is their parents’ job to supervise<br />

them.<br />

<strong>FPM</strong> is a “mandated reporter” of<br />

suspected incidents of abuse or<br />

neglect. If a volunteer suspects a<br />

child is being mistreated or<br />

neglected, they should<br />

immediately communicate their<br />

concerns to our Program Director<br />

(see page 70).<br />
