Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare
Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect
If you are concerned about the safety and well-being of
a child in Milwaukee County, please call (414) 220-SAFE immediately. To
report alleged child abuse and/or neglect of children outside of
Milwaukee County, please contact the
Department
of Human and Social Services for that county.
The information gathered during the call determines
if the incident constitutes the legal definition of child abuse/neglect
and how soon an Initial Assessment Worker will be sent to check on the child.
Some reports assessed as possible child abuse or neglect are investigated
within two hours; all reports must be
investigated within
five days.
