In Georgia, child abuse and neglect reports from childcare programs should be made to the local child protective agency, The Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS). There is a DFCS office in each county. Click below for a listing of DFCS offices in Georgia: Be sure to have your documentation available at the time of your call. The person taking your report will ask you many questions and it is important that you have your information clear in your mind. You may also need to give details regarding the child and their family and other witnesses such as names, addresses, and phone numbers. Georgia has laws that protect the reporter of suspected abuse or neglect from legal liability as long as your report is made “in good faith” and not made maliciously. For more information about reporting child abuse and neglect, check
out a fact sheet published by the Georgia Department of Human Resources,
DFCS.
