Indiana DCS on Social Media
Indiana Department of Child Services-sponsored social media profiles and pages are a family-friendly outlet to promote our agency’s activities, events, and programs. What they are not:
- A method for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, call the Indiana child abuse and neglect hotline at 1-800-800-5556.
