Report a Situation

The Criminal's Justice System is building a vetted, non-police channel for the public to report situations involving suspected harm to children. The goal is to connect reporters with an organization or individual that has the training and authority to act — without the risks that can accompany involving police in a family already in crisis.

Status of This Channel

This reporting channel is currently being established. The site is in the process of vetting partner organizations — established child-protection groups, licensed clinicians, and victim advocates with the training to receive and act on reports responsibly. Until that vetting is complete, we cannot guarantee a direct response to every submission.

In the meantime, if your situation does not require an immediate police response, the safest places to start are the established national resources listed in the box below. Each is staffed by trained intake workers, available around the clock, and equipped to route reports to the right local authority.

Submit Information for Review

The form below is for general information submission — it is not a crisis line. Use it to submit content for the site (a hearing notice, a documented hiring decision, a public-records-based tip), to suggest a partner organization for vetting, or to volunteer.

Every submission is reviewed by an editor against the site's standard intake criteria before any action is taken.

For Organizations Interested in Becoming a Vetted Partner

If you represent an established child-protection organization, victim advocate, or licensed clinical practice that would like to be considered as a vetted reporting partner for this site, please use the form above and indicate "Partner Organization" in the category field. Vetting includes verification of state licensure, insurance, references from other partner organizations, and a published intake process.

Privacy

Submissions are stored on the site's own database and are visible only to authorized editors. We do not sell, share, or publish reporter contact information. Submissions about a third party are reviewed against the site's standards before any content is created — the original report is never published verbatim, and no submission becomes public content without independent verification against primary sources.

If you wish to submit information anonymously, leave the name and contact fields blank. Be aware that anonymous submissions may be harder to verify and slower to act on.
