The Virginia Department of Social Services reminds adults that youth of all ages rely on them along with essential workers and school officials to report abuse, especially during the COVID-19 crisis where social distancing puts vulnerable families at risk. Officials say you don’t need proof – if something doesn’t look safe, sound safe or feel safe – report it. Call your local department of social services or the VDSS Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 800-552-7096.
