​​Guide: Reporting Missing Children in Foster Care

855-503-SAFE (7233)
Call to report suspected child abuse.

All citizens have a responsibility to prevent child abuse and protect children.

Resou​rce Parents, Relative Resource Parents, and their caregiving employees or volunteers are in a unique position to be aware of when a child reports potential abuse and, in turn, must report these allegations.

These tools will assist Resource Parents, Relative Resource Parents and their caregiving employees and volunteers to understand the responsibilities of Mandatory Reporting and the process that takes place once an allegation of abuse or neglect has been made.

Tools

In a major crisis or disaster, local child welfare offices need to know where all children in care are located. Oregon resource parents must contact 211 within 24 hours of an emergency or disaster.​​

​​Contact 211 within 24 hours

Be ready to give this information:​
  • Child's name
  • County or office of case management
  • Child's location and situation
  • Telephone numbers and address where the child and family can be reached
If you must evacuate:
  • Go to a shelter that has been set up by your county emergency manager, or go to a place that is safely out of the disaster.
  • After you get there, contact 211 within 24 hours.​ ​​​
