The Child Abuse and Neglect Center (CANC) receives and responds to reports of abuse or neglect related to children and youth.

Our hotline is always open. CANC screens calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

The community helps to serve as eyes and ears for children. If you notice or suspect a case of child abuse or neglect, please call the hotline.
