Five Criteria CPS Needs to Register a Report: IDENTITY AND LOCATION. Is there enough information known about the identity and location of the potentially abused child to permit an investigation? ... AGE OF THE CHILD. Is the child under 18 years of age? ... JURISDICTION. PERSONS LEGALLY. ALLEGATION OF ABUSE.
DCP&P (formerly DYFS) is New Jersey's state agency responsible for protecting children. The agency investigates all reports of child abuse or neglect by collecting information through home visits and interviews with the child's household members, as well as people such as teachers, physicians, or school counselors.
By law, CP&P cannot tell you who made the report. The worker will be as specific as possible in relating the details of the report. Remember, the worker has come to your home to ensure the safety and well-being of your child.
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.
Well here's a few basic tips that can help you with those goals: Keep in mind that your child probably isn't TRYING to be bad or mean. PREVENT problems when you can. Take ACTION without insult. Help your child calm down and feel safe. TEACH your child and SHOW them how to be kind. Bonus tip.
Aggression in childhood refers to actions like hitting, kicking, or biting that can hurt others. While it can be alarming to witness, it's often a child's way of expressing their needs and frustrations before they have the words to do so.
Report to authorities. If you know that your child has sexually assaulted or abused another child it is important to report these crimes to the proper authorities, such as Child Protective Services.
ANY regular citizen — or even any resident — regardless of age — can contact law enforcement, and present any and all evidence of a crime or crimes. Then, it is up to a prosecutor, or a district attorney or in some cases a Grand Jury to determine if “charges” should be “pressed.”
If you believe that a child is being abused emotionally or otherwise, please contact your local Child Protective Services Agency. If you believe the child is in immediate danger, call 911 immediately. You can find additional information on Child Abuse Prevention Month here.
