    How do I report suspected child abuse or neglect? 

    If you or someone else is in immediate and serious danger, you should call 911.

    Mandated Reporting

    Reporters

    In California, mandated reporters are professionals, who, in the ordinary course of their work, have regular contact with children, disabled persons, or senior citizens, are required to report pysical, sexual, or other types of abuse.


    These reports are to be made whenever abuse or neglect is observed or suspected or when there is evidence of neglect, knowledge of an incident, or an imminent risk of serious harm.

    Example

    A teacher must report to child welfare authorities if they know of a child attending school who appears to be malnourished or has bruising, complains of neglect, or otherwise demonstrates neglect or abuse at home.

    To report abuse or neglect, call the 24-hour hotline at (559) 675-7829 or (800) 801-3999
