Report Child Abuse

If you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected, call 1-800-649-5285 to report it.  The 24-hour VT Child Protection Line makes it easy for you to share your concerns about a child with a trained social worker.

Your call could protect a child, get help for a family, and may even save a child’s life.
