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.
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.
Child Abuse Reporting Hotline: 1 (800) 342-3720 All calls remain confidential. The Bureau also arranges for ongoing child protective and rehabilitative services to the child and the family. Click here for more information on Reporting Suspected Child Abuse or Maltreatment.
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.
CPS does not have the power to remove a parent from the home. The court can order a parent from the home though if CPS recommends it.
If You Suspect A Child Is Being Harmed Recognize the signs. The signs of abuse aren't always obvious, and learning the warning signs of child sexual abuse could be life saving. Talk to the child. If you are concerned about abuse, talk to the child. Report it. Before you report. Where to report. After you report.
No! They are not permitted to reveal where the information came from. If you want to report anyone/any behavior to CPS, you can do so anonymously. However, keep in mind that the reports that come in anonymously carry less weight than those that have an actual person reporting.
Anyone can make an anonymous report when they are concerned about the safety and well-being of a child or youth. If the child/youth is in immediate danger, call or text 911. Otherwise, call 311 in NYC or the New York State Central Register (SCR) directly at 1-800-342-3720.
How to Anonymously Report to CPS Call your state's CPS report line or submit an anonymous report. Provide a detailed explanation of why you suspect child abuse. Know that no further action is needed on your end.
