^I am in training to become a "CASA", which is a court-appointed advocate for children in foster care system. I'm learning quite a bit about the system and process for removing a child from his/her home.

While it's true that reporting this one incident wouldn't result in the removal of this girl from her parents, it would lead to further investigation and possible required classes/counseling for the parents to change their abusive behavior.

There are two options here. Not intervening which will result in nothing favorable for the girl. And intervening which could result in something favorable.
