The short answer is no. CPS cases and Juvenile dependency cases are not open to the public in California. This is because of the confidential nature of the proceedings.
Our laws require CPS to work under very strict confidentiality rules, for the protection of everybody involved. The workers cannot share information about the report. You can be assured that if the hotline took your report, CPS is responding to the situation.
Include the following in your complaint letter: Your name, address and telephone number. The name, address, and telephone number of your attorney or authorized representative, if you are represented. The basis of your complaint. The date(s) that the incident(s) you are reporting as discrimination occurred.
The law states that CPS will inform the reporter “what action, if any, was taken to protect the health and welfare of the child.” This includes advising the reporter if the report was screened out.
A job discrimination complaint may be filed by mail or in person at the nearest EEOC office. You can find the closest EEOC office by calling the EEOC at 1-800-669-4000, or by going to the EEOC's Field Office List and Jurisdiction Map and selecting the office closest to you.
The employee must first present evidence that he is a member of a protected class, he was qualified for the position he held, he suffered an adverse employment action such as being fired, and that he was replaced with another worker who is not a member of that protected class.
In Person at an EEOC Office Each EEOC office has appointments, which you can schedule online through the EEOC Public Portal. Offices also have walk-in appointments. Go to for information about the office closest to you.
