Info

What if I am not sure if a child has been abused • Err on the side of caution! Call the Hotline and they will help determine if the situation is considered child abuse or neglect. • By law (N.J.S.A.9:6‐8.13), NJ residents are protected from civil or criminal liability, discharge from employment, and discrimination if they make a report “in good faith.”
What about allegations involving school personnel • The DCF Institutional Abuse Investigation Unit (IAIU) investigates allegations of child abuse and neglect in institutions and other out‐of of‐ home settings that serve children: day care centers, foster homes, and schools. • School districts also may conduct an investigation, but must not interfere with an IAIU investigation.
