How to Get Help


You can help save a child's life by notifying police of your suspicions. Remember, you will not be in trouble if your suspicions are wrong, and, if you choose, your report can remain anonymous.

1. Do not approach the home. Homes with drug labs are often booby-trapped and users can be heavily armed.
2. Write down everything you see that appears suspicious including the times and dates of the events.
3. Call the police and explain to them exactly what you have witnessed.
4. If a child is in immediate danger, dial 911.
5. To report suspected abuse, or to get help, call toll-free 1-866-242-4111.

If you are a child living with drugs in your home, there is help available.

1. Don't be afraid to tell someone. Talk to an adult you trust like a teacher, a doctor or a family friend.
2. Say, "This is very hard for me to talk about, but you are someone I can trust. Can we talk alone for a few minutes? I need your help."
3. Ask them to call the police for you if you are not comfortable doing it yourself. The police will send someone to your home to make sure you are safe.
4. To report suspected abuse, or to get help, call toll-free 1-866-242-4111.
