The health and well being of all residents are of the upmost priority, but our youngest residents need us to be looking out for them. It is our responsibility to report suspected child abuse to the authorities.

If you suspect a child under the age of 18 is being abused or neglected call the following numbers:
CALL a DHS Local Office 712.957.5135
8:00 AM - 4:30 PM Monday-Friday, or CALL Iowa's Child Abuse Hot line 1-800-362-2178

Please be ready to provide identifying information and the whereabouts of the child. You may remain anonymous.
