If you suspect or know that a child is being maltreated, you should get in touch with CPS and provide as much information as possible
Child Protective Services (CPS) are theUnited Statesgovernmental agencies that are responsible for investigating reports ofchild maltreatment, abuse, or neglect. Often, CPS helps families find ways to support them in protecting and improving the well-being of their children.
However, in some cases, CPS look for alternate placements for children or terminate parental rights. These agencies can vary from state to state and county to county but follow the same professional standards when it comes to procedure.
Getting in touch with CPS can potentially protect a child’s health, help struggling families, and even save lives. It’s absolutely vital that you provide the agency with as much information as possible about potential abuse or neglect.
According to theOffice of Child Careat the Administration for Children & Families, if you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected or if you are yourself a child who is being mistreated, you should call theChildHelp National Child Abuse Hotline, which is available 24/7.
Victims of bullying experience many issues, including negative impacts on their physical, emotional, andmental health
As perJWB Family Law, “CPS is not an entity to be called lightly. It’s reserved for situations where a child is in danger, harm, or experiencing a difficult circumstance that requires intervention.”
One common scenario where CPS might be necessary is when a parent is struggling with addiction. Furthermore, you should call CPS if you suspect or know that your child isat riskdue to the actions of a spouse or caregiver. “Failure to do so not only puts your child at further risk but can also be seen as negligence for not protecting them.”
Stop Bullying, with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,explainsthat children who are the victims of bullying experience negative physical, social, emotional, academic, and mental health issues.
For example, bullying victims can experience depression and anxiety that, in some cases, may persist into adulthood. They may also have health complaints, perform worse academically, and even miss, skip, or drop out of school.
