Did you know:
- In Wyoming, every citizen is responsible for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect. If you suspect, you must report. It is the job of Child Protective Services to sort out the details and confirm or rule out child abuse or neglect.
- Department of Family Services in Casper/Natrona County: 307-473-3900
- What is neglect?
- Neglect is the failure of a parent or caretaker to provide a child under age 18 with the basic needs of life such as food, clothing, shelter, medical care, educational opportunities, protection and supervision.
- The law in Wyoming requires every person, private citizen or professional, who has reason to believe that a child under age 18 has been abused to report the suspected abuse. Failure to do so is a crime. A person making a report in good faith is immune from both criminal and civil liability.
