Please? cps?

Question

is this anonymous? what will happen and how can i find it? I have a bad situation here.

Answer 1

You can either call your counties local offices and they will redirect your or call an abuse hotline. It is anonymous if you choose to it to be. And even if you give your name in most cases they cant divulge it to anyone. If your in a bad situation call. Even calling 911 may be a good idea if its bad enough.

Answer 2

Yes, it is but, they need your info. to make sure you are not calling just because you do not like the people.

Answer 3

is it anonymous: yes, they can't give out the name of the person who called.

what will happen? either a social worker or an officer will respond to the home, sometimes both. it doesn't always mean that someone will be arrested or that children will be removed. they will decide when they get there, and will check up on that house again later. nothing happens to you for calling, unless you're doing it as prank or a way to get someone in trouble with no reason.

how to find it? phone book gov't section, or call your local police station... they will give you the local number to call.

EDIT: if the neglect is putting the child in serious risk of bodily, emotional or mental harm, call NOW... 9-1-1. if not, there should be 24 hr hotline... try to google it.... or let me know city/state you live in and i'll find it for you........ kk?

Answer 4

yes it is....please have an adult call if you are under age. Also, you will need to give specifics as to what your complaints are. Afterwards, no one will contact your or give you information....as it is private and only for the family in question.

If the call is concerning you personally, then obviously you would need to make the call yourself. Do so, and police will arrive when they are able to investigate. If it is an emergency, you will need to call the police directly.

Answer 5

Yes it's anonymous. They will investigate for 30 days in most states. Interviewing family members, neighbors, teachers and friends. Possibly interview children alone. it can get messy and you need to be sure you have a good reason to call. If you are sure- don't hesitate. If you just disagree with some minor thing then don't put the family through this.

We had to call on our friends once. Yes, our friends, who are not friends anymore because of the filth and neglect in their home. Even though they have a huge income and plenty of daycare options- their children weren't looked after. They investigated and moved the kids in with grandparents until they went to counseling. It's a hard decision. but f you must make that call.. then do it.

Answer 6

Hi,  

I am on the computer right now if you would like to talk. You can email me by going to my profile page. What is the problem you are having.

Love,

Michelle

Answer 7

you can tell them anomyus! or however you spell it and nobody will know! i've had to do it before

Answer 8

It is anonymous when you call it in and request to remain that way. But if you don't want to be found out then tread lightly  because my sister in law called CPS on her sister and her sister knew it was her because she had made comments before about her parenting style and stuff.And also do not say anything about CPS to anyone because that could tip the person/s off and they could clean up their act before CPS showed up(such as a nasty house or threaten the child that if they said anything they would hurt them as soon as CPS is gone) Don't give them a heads up about it,therefore do not let ANYONE for that matter know that you are even thinking about it.Let them be caught offgaurd in all their "glory" and pay the consequences..so all in all tread lightly but do make the call because they will NOT tell the people who called on them. Best of Luck
