Report Suspected Abuse

Every adult in Tennessee is a mandated reporter. You do not need to have facts or proof to make a report, just suspicion.

  • Tennessee Child Abuse Hotline: 1-877-237-0004 (24/7)

  • Emergency: Call 911 if a child is in immediate danger

If you are unsure, report anyway. Trained professionals will assess the concern. Mandated reporters are required by law to report suspicions of abuse.
