Reporting Child Abuse

New York’s Education Law requires each public school to post information about the Child Abuse Hotline number. If you suspect child abuse or maltreatment, do not wait to report it:

Call the New York State Office of Children and Family Services toll free at 1-800-342-3720. If you believe that a child is in immediate danger, please call 911 or the local police department (518-828-3388).

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, call TDD/TTY at 1-800-638-5163 or have your Video Relay System provider call 1-800-342-3720
