Help me know what to do for possible child abuse

My son told me that on Friday morning, his school bus seat-mate told him that their father punched them that morning for leaving their backpack outside all night. Help me do the right thing.

I told my son that he did the right thing by telling me. I questioned him closely, and he believes his friend because friend was nearly crying, and I believe that my son is telling me the truth of what he heard.

No child (8) should ever be punched and I want to report this to the right person/people. I worry though that maybe the friend said, "punished" instead of "punched" and my son misunderstood, or that the friend exaggerated or made it up.

Since I didn't talk to the child in question (and won't have an opportunity to do so), what should I do?
