In 2006, New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) investigated 63,000 reports of child abuse and neglect. Reports often involve more than one child, so approximately 90,000 children come to the attention of ACS each year. During each investigation, ACS assesses a child’s safety and takes action, as necessary, to prevent child abuse and/or neglect. For more information on reporting a suspected case of child abuse and neglect, please visit the Administration for Children’s Services Web site at The New York City Administration for Children’s Services.
