CHILD ABUSE HOTLINE NUMBERS
Report Child Abuse
Childhelp USA® National Child Abuse Hotline
1-800-4-A-CHILD® TDD: 1-800-2-A-CHILD
Abuse must be reported within the state in which it occurs.
When seeking to report abuse, it is important to remember these points:
1. Not every state has a reporting hotline
2. Not every hotline is 24 - hour accessible
3. If the state does have a hotline, it may only be accessible within that state.
Should you need to report in another state or the particular state does not have a hotline, you may need to contact the out-of-state reporting number or the specific county in which the abuse occurred.
The Childhelp USA National Child Abuse Hotline can provide these numbers for you.
