Each State designates specific agencies to
receive and investigate reports of suspected child abuse and neglect.
Typically, this responsibility is carried out by child protective
services (CPS) within a Department of Social Services, Department of
Human Resources, or Division of Family and Children Services. In some
States, police departments may also receive reports of child abuse or
neglect. For more information or assistance with reporting, please call
Childhelp®, 800-4-A-CHILD (800-422-4453), or your local CPS
agency.
In most cases, the toll-free numbers listed below are only accessible
from within the State listed. If calling from out-of-State, use the
local (toll) number listed or call Childhelp® for assistance. Also
