How to Report Child Abuse
State law requires every person who has reason to believe that a child is being abused or neglected, or is in danger of being abused or neglected, MUST report the suspicion of abuse promptly to the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS).
The statewide 24-hour child abuse hotline in 1-800-522-5311 or call 911 to reach local law enforcement. OKDHS policy and state law require strict maintenance of the confidentiality of reports of child abuse. Anonymous reports are also accepted. Calling Dearing House does not meet the legal requirement for reporting. Referrals to Dearing House come from Law Enforcement and DHS after they receive the report.
