Child Abuse Reporting

Be a hero to a child in need.  Reporting suspected child abuse and neglect is everyone's responsibility.  Our children need us and count on us to report suspected child abuse and/or neglect.  Reporting can protect the child and get help for the family. 

If you suspect that a child has been abused or neglected, it is very important that you report it by calling the confidential 24-hour, 7-day-a-week hotline:  1-800-442-4918
