    Crisis Information

    If you find yourself in need of support, it is extremely important to seek help for yourself and good of your family, and know that help is available. The following information provides phone numbers and information on a variety of information resources.

     

    In case of an emergency, always dial 9-1-1.


     

    Family Violence

    There are four major types of child maltreatment: physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse.

    Some children can’t or won’t cry or ask for help when they need it – even if their lives may be in danger. Thousands of children who suffer abuse and neglect are too young, terrified, or simply confused to tell anyone about it. Their suffering may go unnoticed for years, permanently damaging their health and development – or worse.

    You can spot symptoms of abuse and neglect if you know what to look for. A parent’s, caregiver’s, or child’s appearance and behavior may be a sign. If you think someone is hurting or mistreating a child, you must act. Report your suspicions to the people who are responsible for investigating reports of abuse and neglect.

    Texas Department of Family and Protective Services

    Child Protective Services responsibilities include:

    • Investigating reports of abuse and neglect of children.
    • Providing services to children and families in their own homes.
