CALL 713.222.TIPS (8477)

Child Abuse

By law, everyone in Texas is a mandated reporter, meaning that any disclosed or suspected child abuse, neglect, or trafficking must be immediately reported to the authorities. Every child deserves to feel safe, so it's important to recognize warning signs and encourage students to speak up if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
