Trystan is an active 4 year old boy. He often arrives at his daycare center with bumps and bruises. Today, he arrived with welts and blisters on the back of his legs that resembled the shape of a strap or belt. When the daycare provider asked Trystan what happened, he didn't answer the question, but said his daddy was mad at him.
The daycare provider asked Trystan's father about the marks that evening when he picked him up from the center. He shrugged it off by saying, "you know how boys are - they play rough."
The daycare provider did not think the marks looked like they came as the result of playtime. They question in their mind how a child would have gotten welts and blisters on the backs of their legs while playing.
What should the daycare provider do next?
A) Ignore the situation since the father dismissed it
B) Report their suspicions to the appropriate authorities
C) Confront the father again and insist on an explanation
D) Ask Trystan's mother if she knows anything about the marks
