Abusive Head Trauma
When child abuse is suspected, medical providers are responsible for contacting their state’s child abuse hotline. In many states, there are specific mandated reporter numbers. Physicians and other licensed health care providers are mandated reporters of child maltreatment and neglect.
Mandated Reporters in New York State should call 311 in NYC or call the SCR's Mandated Reporter hotline directly at 1(800) 635-1522. If the child is in immediate danger, call 911.
For others outside of NYS and non-mandated reporters, check this map for hotline numbers in your state: https://www.childhelphotline.org/how-it-works/#hotline-map.
