| by Child Help USA |
First, thank you for your
concern for the health and safety of children.
As the Federal agency responsible for helping States to improve the well being of children and youth, we are deeply concerned about the abuse and neglect of children. We assist States in establishing guidelines to make their own laws to protect abused and neglected children. We have no authority, however, to intervene in individual child abuse and neglect cases. Many states have a toll free number to call to report suspected abuse. Please check the listing below for your State. States with Toll Free Child Abuse Reporting Numbers Both the reporting party and the child who is allegedly being abused must reside in the same state for the following reporting numbers to be valid.
When the reporting party resides in a different state than the child,or for states not listed, please call Childhelp's National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-4 A CHILD (800-422-4453). TDD: 1-800-2 A CHILD.
