How To
Report Abuse Continued
Anyone can report suspected child abuse or neglect. Professionals
who are involved with children are legally required to report suspicions
of abuse or neglect. Reports can be made anonymously; however, the
identity of a reporter is kept strictly confidential and never shared
with
persons under investigation.
If a child is
in immediate danger, an investigation is started within one hour
of the report. If a child does not appear to be in immediate danger,
the report is investigated within 24 hours.
