🔽 Reporting Child Abuse in Michigan
To report suspected child abuse or neglect, call the Michigan Child Abuse Hotline at 855-444-3911. Reports can be made by anyone — including minors — and certain professionals (like teachers, doctors, and counselors) are mandated reporters under Michigan’s Child Protection Law.
Once a report is filed, CPS evaluates whether it meets three key criteria:
The child is under 18 years old
The alleged abuser is a caregiver or responsible adult
The report fits the legal definitions of abuse or neglect
🔽 Investigation & Central Registry Placement
If CPS opens an investigation, they may interview parents, children, or other parties — and the outcome can have serious legal and personal consequences. In some cases, individuals are placed on the Michigan Central Registry, a confidential list of confirmed perpetrators of abuse or neglect. Christopher Drouillard can help you challenge false findings, request removal, or seek registry clearance when appropriate.
🔽 Recognizing Signs of Abuse or Neglect
Knowing what to report matters. Our site offers resources to help identify signs of physical, emotional, and behavioral abuse or neglect — ensuring that concerns are reported appropriately and responsibly.
