Making Connections
Suspect a child is being abused or neglected? The Los Angeles County child abuse hotline takes confidential reports 24 hours a day in English and Spanish about suspected cases.
If you’d like to discuss issues involving a child, but do not wish to report child abuse, call between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
To either make a report or discuss a situation, call the hotline at (800) 540-4000. The fax number is (213) 617-3574 and mailing address is 564 S. Mateo St., Los Angeles 90013-3574.
