Child Maltreatment Reports

Child maltreatment reports refer to formal notifications made when there is concern or evidence that a child is being abused or neglected. These reports are typically filed with child protective services to ensure the child's safety and well-being. They can involve physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as neglect or abandonment. The goal is to investigate these concerns thoroughly and provide necessary support or intervention, which may include family services or, in severe cases, removing the child from harmful environments to protect them and promote healthy development.
