Reporting Child Abuse
If you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected, report it. Call 1-800-649-5285 - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Department of Children and Families 24-hour Child Protection Line makes it easy for you to share your concerns about a child with a trained social worker.
Your call could protect a child, get help for a family, and may even save a child's life.
Tip: When you report child abuse or neglect, try to have as much information on hand as possible (e.g., the names of the child's parents/caretakers; the child's name, date of birth, home address, school or child care facility; and the nature and extent of the injuries or allegations of abuse/neglect).
