Every adult involved in the life of a child plays a critical role in helping maintain that child’s safety. It is important to recognize your vital role and learn how to help protect the children in your life from abuse and neglect.
If you suspect that a child is a victim of abuse or neglect and you are unsure whether the child’s situation has been reported to child protective services (CPS), you should report your concerns to your local CPS agency. Refer to What Should I Know about Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect?, another fact sheet distributed by the American Humane Association, to learn about reporting suspected child abuse or neglect.
