Report Abuse
In Plymouth County alone, over 500 children each year allege abuse. Each case must be investigated to ensure the child is safe from further harm. Child abuse can impact a child’s physical and mental well being.
Emotionally, children can experience withdrawal, post-traumatic stress disorder, and feelings of shame, distrust, and guilt.
If you suspect any case involving child sexual or physical abuse, neglect, or sexual exploitation, report it immediately.

and Families Abuse Hotline: 1.800.792.5200
