If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, call your local
Child Protective Services, your state's Child Protective Services, or the Childhelp USA National Child Abuse Hotline.
If you do not get an answer at one, call another. To report child abuse in a state other than your own, or in a state
without their own child abuse hotline, please call:
