Abuse is the physical, sexual or emotional maltreatment of a child. Abuse and neglect also includes human trafficking. Any minor child who is a victim of human trafficking should also be reported. Neglect, on the other hand, is the failure to give children the necessary care they need.

CPS first reviews the report to decide whether the facts reported fall within the legal definitions of abuse, neglect, or dependency. If not, the agency will take no further action and will not contact the parents or caretakers.
