Child Protective Services
Program Information
Child Protective Services (CPS) are provided through Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) to identify, treat and prevent child abuse and neglect. The two purposes of CPS intervention are to protect the safety of children and to provide services to help families with any difficulties that cause the safety of their children to be at risk. Services are provided either through community resources or through OKDHS. While every attempt is made to preserve the family, if a child's safety cannot be controlled, then court intervention, including removal of the child, may be necessary.
If you believe a child is being abused or neglected, you have a legal responsibility to report it to the appropriate local OKDHS county office during business hours. Reports can also be made at any time to the 24-hour Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-522-3511.
