Kentucky offering new way to report abuse

Posted: Updated:
KENTUCKY (WFIE) -

The Kentucky State agency that oversees child and adult protection is offering a new way to report abuse or neglect in non-emergency situations.

The Kentucky Department for Community Based Services has a new web-based portal for reporting suspected abuse or neglect.

They say the online system is convenient, confidential and secure to report situations that don't need an immediate response.


*However, this site is only available Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

To make a report during non-business hours, weekends, and holidays, please call:

1-877KYSAFE1 (1-877-597-2331)

Also, cases that do need immediate attention should be reported to 911, local law enforcement or to the number above.
