What is NOT considered additional information in a child abuse report?

The child’s hobbies are not considered relevant additional information in a child abuse report because they do not provide insights into the circumstances surrounding the alleged abuse or neglect. Reports of child abuse are focused on uncovering the situation that may lead to harm or the environment in which the child is being raised. Additional information typically centers around factors directly related to the allegations at hand, such as the child's relationship with the accused, previous allegations, or information about the child's school that might reflect the child’s wellbeing or reveal any signs of abuse. These other types of information can help authorities assess the situation comprehensively and make informed decisions regarding the child’s safety and necessary interventions. In contrast, hobbies, while they may be insightful concerning the child's personality or interests, do not contribute critical information relevant to the assessment of safety and risk of harm in the context of abuse allegations.
