To report suspected maltreatment

Remember suspected maltreatment should be reported as follows:

Vulnerable Adults: If you know or suspect that a vulnerable adult is in immediate danger, call 911. Additionally, all reports of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a vulnerable adult should be called into the Minnesota Adult Abuse Reporting Center (MAARC) at 844-880-1574 which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Child: If a child is in immediate danger, contact 911 immediately. If the child is not in immediate danger, call 651-431-6600 to report suspected abuse or neglect of a child in DHS licensed facilities. To make a report of suspected maltreatment in family child care or child foster care, call your local county child protection unit.
