Is This an Emergency?
If you or someone you know is being endangered or abused right now, call 911 immediately and the emergency staff will help you.
I’m Not Sure?
If you suspect that someone is being abused, you need to tell a responsible person about it – a parent, a teacher, a doctor or nurse, a police officer, a social worker, or someone you trust.
