Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare

The Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare (BMCW) works with families to ensure the safety and well-being of children. With its many community partners, BMCW provides services to families in crisis that help keep children safely in the home. When it is necessary, BMCW looks to foster and adoptive families to provide appropriate temporary and permanent homes for children who cannot live with their parents.

Report suspected child abuse or neglect in Milwaukee County by calling the Child Abuse Hotline (open 24 hours, every day) at  (414) 220 - SAFE  (220-7233). Do not report using this web site.
