What To Do When You're Hotlined For Child Abuse

Out Of My Mind

When you are hotlined, there are a lot of things you need to do and a lot of things you are going to be feeling as you try your best to protect your family. This video walks you through the definition of child abuse and neglect, what is likely to happen when you are hotlined, and what you can do for your child. I hope this video makes it easier for you to do the things you need to do to bring your child home and provide a safe environment for them. I know this time has been stressful for you, so please feel free to grab a bunch of markers and a coloring page or some crayons and join in as I talk about the child abuse and neglect hotline process.
