To report is to protect

To report a situation, call 514-935-6196

Our Youth Protection Services receive every year over 3000 reports (signalements). It is primarily due to a person?s concern about the well-being of a child, and this person sharing it with us, that we are able to protect.

The Youth Protection Act (YPA) stipulates that children and youths between the ages of 0 and 18, are in need of protection in any of the following 6 situations:

• abandonment;
• neglect;
• psychological ill-treatment;
• sexual abuse;
• physical abuse;
• serious behavioural disturbance.

The YPA also considers that children or youths may be in need of protection if they :

• run away;
• are not attending school;
• have been abandoned by their parents after being placed in foster care by virtue of the Act Respecting Health Services and Social Services.

You are concerned by the situation of a child who may experience any of these situations?

A child or youth has told you about his problems and you don?t know what to do?

Call our services and say that you wish to make a report (or signalement) or just say that you wish to talk to someone about the situation of a child that concerns you. We take calls 24 hours a day / 365 days a year.

Your identity will never be revealed without your consent.

To report a situation, call 514-935-6196
