FAQ
Provide as much information as you can about the situation. Tell the truth, and do not exaggerate. Based on the answers to your questions, the hotline will determine whether to send Child Protective Services (CPS) to conduct an investigation.
Making a Determination When ACS conducts an investigation, within 60 days or fewer, CPS will make a determination of whether or not the report is "indicated" or "unfounded.
Call CPS when you have major concerns for the welfare of the child because of serious abuse or neglect. That can take many different forms: hitting or shaking an infant--ever observing or knowing of major physical abuse, such as hitting a child with a closed fist, or beating.
Here is what CPS cannot do in New York: Forcefully Enter Your Home: CPS cannot enter a home without permission unless they have obtained a court order. Compel an Individual to Take a Drug Test: CPS can request that an individual undergo a drug test, but they can only require a parent to do so with a court order.
Our laws require CPS to work under very strict confidentiality rules, for the protection of everybody involved. The workers cannot share information about the report. You can be assured that if the hotline took your report, CPS is responding to the situation.
The reporting individual's identity will be confidential unless they choose to tell you.
Making the Initial Report Once you've identified signs of abuse, the next step is to make a report. This can be done by contacting local child protective services (CPS) or law enforcement.
Many states accept anonymous reports of alleged child abuse and neglect. Reporting suspected child abuse and neglect is everyone's responsibility. If you have any concerns about a child's welfare, you should contact the appropriate authorities in the county or state where the child resides.
Generally, the initial investigation lasts 45 days. If the investigation extends beyond this period, the agency must notify the family, and document their justification for an extension past the initial 45 day period. At the conclusion of the investigation CPS will notify the parents in writing of their decision.
