Reporting Child Abuse (document)

Reporting child abuse involves recognizing and informing authorities about situations where a child's safety or well-being is at risk due to physical, emotional, sexual abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Anyone who suspects a child is being harmed should report their concerns promptly, as protecting the child is the top priority. Reporting can be done through designated hotlines, authorities, or child protective services. It is a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure the child receives necessary help and support while maintaining confidentiality and following proper procedures to investigate and address the situation effectively.
