California law requires that the identity of the reporting person remain confidential. Any person who suspects child abuse or neglect is encouraged to contact the Sacramento County Child Abuse Hotline at 875-KIDS (875-5437).
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.
CPS cases usually begin when someone makes a report to CPS about potential abuse or neglect. CPS will then investigate the allegations to determine whether or not they are founded. If CPS finds that the allegations are founded, the child will be placed in foster care, and a CPS case will be opened.
While CPS can show up to your home, they cannot enter without your consent, a court order, a warrant, or credible information to support the belief that a child is in serious immediate danger.
CPS Investigation Timeline in California CPS investigations can take up to 30 days to complete, during which they will conduct interviews, observe the home environment, and possibly do other forms of investigation such as medical examinations or psychological evaluations.
No. The identity of the person who reports suspected child abuse or neglect, even if known by CPS, cannot be disclosed to the family or anyone else not directly involved in the CPS investigation. However, you have a right to know the specific allegations made against you.
Reporting should be done when a person either knows or has a “reasonable suspicion” that a child has been or is in danger of abuse or neglect. “Reasonable suspicion” means that most people, given the same facts and information, would suspect child abuse. Hard proof is not needed to make a report.
School suspensions can have lasting effects on a student's record, influencing their future educational and career opportunities.
Contact School Administration: Speak with a school counselor or administrator about your situation. They can provide guidance on whether it's possible to appeal the suspension or request its removal. Appeal Process: If your school has an appeals process, follow it.
Researchers have documented that suspensions have a negative impact on academic development, increase likelihood of dropping out of school, and are associated with a stronger likelihood that students will be involved in the legal system.
