Children’s Advocacy Centers of Arkansas and Arkansas State Police announce new hotline to report Child Abuse
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Children’s Advocacy Centers of Arkansas announced today the new hotline to report child abuse.
The hotline call center is staffed by a team of specially trained personnel from the Crimes Against Children Division of Arkansas State Police. An investigation may ensue based upon reports, which meet the criteria of state and federal laws. Reports of child maltreatment can be reported by anyone, 24-hours a day, seven days a week, through two toll- free phone numbers (844) SAVE-A-CHILD (728-3244) or (800) 482-5964.
“Our children depend on the adults in their lives to protect them. But, too often, these are the very folks who have failed them. That’s why the Arkansas State Police Child Abuse Hotline is (844) SAVE-A-CHILD. They will investigate and bring other agencies and charities into help as needed to save a child. Together, we can stop child abuse and rescue all children,” said First Lady Susan Hutchinson.
Children’s Advocacy Centers of Arkansas’ Executive Director, Stacy Thompson, encourages anyone who suspects child abuse to call (844) SAVE-A-CHILD. The hotline is dispatched to Arkansas State Police.
“Children’s Advocacy Centers of Arkansas thanks Mrs. Susan Hutchinson for her commitment to the safety of our children and willingness to spread the word about this new hotline number. The hotline number is not a replacement for the current number. When 1-844-SAVE-A-CHILD is dialed, it rolls forward to the existing child abuse and neglect reporting number,” she says.
