If a foster child says his caregiver is hitting him, you must immediately:

  1. Alert the local police department

  2. Call the Abuse Hotline to report the allegation

  3. Discuss the matter with the caregiver first

  4. Ignore the claim unless there is physical proof

The correct answer is: Call the Abuse Hotline to report the allegation

When a foster child makes an allegation of abuse, it is important to take action immediately to ensure their safety and well-being. Options A and D are incorrect because they require inaction or delay, which can potentially put the child at further risk. Option C is incorrect because discussing the matter with the caregiver first could potentially jeopardize the investigation and also put the child at risk for retaliation. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it is the most appropriate and responsible course of action in this situation.
