24hChild Protection Services

Social workers investigate reports of child abuse or neglect, provide or arrange support services for families, supervise a child's care in the home, and protect children through removal from the family and placement with relatives, a foster family or specialized residential resources.

To report a concern about a child being abused or neglected, call the toll free number or Helpline for Children, both available 24-hour, 7 days a week.
