The Office of the Child Advocate ceased operation effective June 30, 2010. 

The information below is from the NJ Department of Children and Families website:

In New Jersey, any person having reasonable cause to believe that a child has been subjected to abuse or acts of abuse should immediately report this information to the State Central Registry (SCR). If the child is in immediate danger, call 911 as well as 1-877 NJ ABUSE. A concerned caller does not need proof to report an allegation of child abuse and can make the report anonymously.

For questions or concerns regarding Division of Youth and Family Services, contact the Division's Action Line at 1-800-331-DYFS.
