When You Suspect Abuse
Under the Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act, anyone who has reasonable and probable grounds to believe a child is being sexually, physically, emotionally abused or neglected has a legal obligation to file a report.
Reporting Child Abuse
The risk of not making a report outweigh the risks of reporting unfounded allegations. Reports can be made to your local police or anonymously through Crime Stoppers or the Abuse Hotline.
Reporting Online Exploitation
If you encounter the online exploitation of children or any material that depicts child abuse, an anonymous online report is made to the Centre for Child Protection’s Cybertip.
