Child Welfare Information Gateway is not a hotline for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect, and it is not equipped to accept reports of this nature. Information Gateway is not equipped to offer crisis counseling. As a service of the Children's Bureau in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Information Gateway does not have the authority to intervene or advise in personal situations.
Childhelp® is a national organization
that provides crisis assistance and other counseling and referral services. The
Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline
is staffed 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, with professional crisis counselors who have access to a
database of 55,000 emergency, social service, and support resources. All calls

If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, or if you are a child who is being maltreated, contact your local child protective services office or law enforcement agency so professionals can assess the situation. Many States have a toll-free number to call to report suspected child abuse or neglect. To find out where to call, consult the Information Gateway publication, State Child Abuse Reporting Numbers.

Children look up to us to protect them, care for them, and guide them in the right direction, so why not help them? I'm not saying that some parents or caregivers don't do everything in their power to protect their kids because they do and its a good thing. All I'm saying is that other people need to step up and help kids. The article above is saying that anyone can report the neglect of children don't just watch or say they will be okay because they won't be okay until someone step in and help. In the article is where you can go or call to report child neglect, if you are scared to report it and you think that something might happen to you for whatever reasons you don't have to say your name and you will feel better because you helped a child. Please take this seriously and use this information to help others.
