Experiencing and witnessing child abuse is scary. Our hotline can help you figure out how and where child abuse can be reported.

We can walk you through next steps whether you are experiencing abuse, have witnessed abuse, or have questions about how to cope and heal from abuse.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT A CHILD IS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER, PLEASE CONTACT 911 FOR HELP.

We are not a hotline for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect, and we cannot accept reports.
Families of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds are more likely to be investigated by child protective services, and Black children are more likely to be placed in foster care due to reasons such as racial bias and systemic factors. 
To promote racial equity and increase awareness of alternative ways to help children and families, it’s important to connect families to resources so they can better support their children.  
211.org connects you to local resources for housing, mental health, food assistance, health care, and more. 988 is now the three-digit dialing code that routes callers to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
How do I report suspected child abuse or neglect?  
State Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Numbers Lists contact information to report maltreatment to local agencies.

LGBTQIA+ Resources

National Domestic Violence Hotline
Abuse in LGBTQ+ Communities
While abuse among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning “plus” (LGBTQ+) people occurs at the same rates and in similar ways as their heterosexual peers, LGBTQ+ people may face forms of abuse or barriers to accessing support specifically based on prejudices against their gender expression or sexuality.

Human Rights Campaign
Understanding Intimate Partner Violence in the LGBTQ+ Community.
Content Warning:
This resource discusses issues of intimate partner violence (IPV) that some readers may find sensitive. If you are experiencing IPV, please visit the CDC’s intimate partner violence page for a list of resources and crisis hotlines. You may also view HRC’s mental health resources and QTBIPOC mental health resources for LGBTQ+ specific crisis hotlines. If you or a loved one are in imminent danger, please call 911.
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), also known as domestic violence, partner abuse, or dating violence, refers to the various means of control used by an abuser against their partner in an intimate relationship. According to the Centers for Disease Control, IPV includes many forms of abuse, including “physical violence, sexual violence, stalking and psychological aggression (including coercive tactics) by a current or former intimate partner (i.e., spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, dating partner, or ongoing sexual partner).” Anyone—regardless of their identity, or that of their partner—can experience IPV.
However, misogynist gender roles, racial/ethnic stereotypes and institutional discrimination, and economic insecurity, put certain segments of the population at greater risk, such as women, BIPOC people, those living in poverty, and younger adults. For LGBTQ+ people, these same social determinants compound with homophobic and transphobic stigma, creating even greater risk of IPV among the community.
