to report child abuse/ state hot lines
State Phone numbers for reporting child abuse Abuse must be reported within the state in which it occurs. When seeking to report abuse, it is important to remember these points: Not every state has a reporting hotline Not every hotline is accessible 24 hours a day 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 National Child Abuse Hotline can provide these numbers for you. ChildHelp USA® is one of the largest and oldest national non-profits dedicated to the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect. ChildHelp USA directly serves abused children through residential treatment facilities, child advocacy centers, group homes, foster care, child abuse prevention programs, and community outreach.
