Most people do not know when they should contact the Child Protective Services(CPS). This is a guidline that will help you to know when and how you should file a report with them.

If a child or adult is being physically abused, don't hesitate, call 911 as soon as possible. Once you call, an officer will arrive shortly to determine the abuse and if they need to remove the person from the home. The police officer will usually arrive with a case worker. The case worker is the one who usually exams the child.

If the child is being mentally abused, you should file a report with the CPS so that they can get the child into councelling and see if they need to take the child out of the parents home. Mental abuse is still a form of abuse and should be taken serious. Mental abuse can affect a person in many ways.

Neglect is a huge and rising problem. If you see a child or adult who you believe is being neglected, you should call your local police department when you notice it. This will help them to take care of the neglect.

If you are not sure if that person is being abused, contact the CPS if you have any doubts.There will be an investigation before the person is removed from the home. If the abuse is not accurate or they feel that it is not accurate, it will still be in their system as showing that a report was filed. If they keep getting reports, they will keep doing investigations. The more they have to do investigations, the more likely that person will be caught.

I do understand that there are a lot of people who call them because they are mad at a certain party. This should not be done. This is a waste of the tax payers money and they have better things that need to be taken care of.

If you need to reach them or would like more information on the CPS please contact them through this site, it is their official web site and it will answer any questions that you may have.
