Children are brought to CAST only after a report of suspected maltreatment has been made to a child protective agency. In Orange County, both the Department of Children and Family Services within the Orange County Social Services Agency and law enforcement agencies/police departments are considered child protective agencies.
To make a child abuse report call the Child Abuse Registry @ (714)-940-1000.
To report a crime and/or when the child needs immediate protection call the law enforcement jurisdiction in which the crime has occurred. A local law enforcement agency should be called if the appropriate law enforcement jurisdiction cannot respond in a timely manner.
Only a child protective agency can make arrangements for children to be brought to the Child Abuse Services Team.
