Child Abuse Reporting
Please call the New York State Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-342-3720. You can call anytime of the day or night. When you call, a Child Protective Services intake specialist will ask you for information about the child’s family and about how and why you think the child is being mistreated. If the situation you describe meets the legal standards that are required for Child Protective Services to take action, a report of your suspicions will be registered and assigned to a Monroe County Child Protective Services Unit for investigation or assessment.
