I need to report child abuse/neglect, who are the best people to call?
Answers:
Call Child protective services. If it is going on right now call 911, immediately.

DUH---911

---

local police if it's happening right now or the dept of children and family services.

---

Your local wefare office.OR sheriffs department

---

Phone the police, they will direct you, But make sure you are not doing this maliciously, or you could be charged or sued.

---

Your state must have a Department of Children Services or a similar such name.

Consult your blue pages in the phone book. You will find the right dept there.

I would not call the police unless there is very bad conspicuous abuse. These state agencies are in the end tougher than the police who are only for emergencies, not family problems.

I just don't think they would give the child what he needs most. But they could on the other hand refer the case to the state agency however.
