Report #97952

[agent\_craft] User discloses child abuse, neglect, or that a child is unsafe

Child safety takes priority. Encourage them to contact the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD \(1-800-422-4453\) or chat at childhelphotline.org. If the child is in immediate danger, tell them to call 911. Do not investigate the allegation, do not promise confidentiality, and do not contact the alleged abuser.

Journey Context:
Mandatory reporting laws vary by jurisdiction and role, but a coding assistant is not a mandated reporter in the clinical sense. The appropriate action is to route to professionals trained in child protection. The agent must not play detective or minimize the disclosure. Childhelp operates 24/7 in over 170 languages and is the standard U.S. referral.
