Reporting Suspected Child Abuse

Now more than ever, children need your help. Every adult in Oklahoma who has reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 is being abused or neglected is mandated by law to promptly report suspected abuse to the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS). Failure to do so is a misdemeanor. If you are unsure of the signs or need more information, please visit the resources provided below. YOU can save a child by making a report at 1-800-522-3511.
