Anyone who might suspect that your child is being abused or neglected may call
CPS to report the suspicion. Each state or local community has its own 1-800
number and 24-hour hotline. Any member of the community, parents, or child
victims themselves can call and make a report of suspected child abuse or neglect.
Any person may voluntarily report suspected abuse or neglect. Persons who work
with children and/or families are legally required to report suspected abuse or
neglect. They are called “mandated reporters.” This includes professionals in health
care, childcare, social services, education, mental health, law enforcement;
guardians ad litem; and clergy (unless information is considered privileged). This
list of mandated reporters may vary slightly from state to state.
