If a child may be in immediate danger...
Call 911 if someone is in immediate danger, needs urgent medical care, or requires immediate law-enforcement response. This includes suspected sexual violence or exploitation.
SLAP is not an emergency service or capable of taking a police report. Website submissions are not monitored continuously and should never replace contacting emergency services or an official reporting agency.

Before You Act
Before You Act
Do not contact, threaten, confront, bait, or independently investigate the person you are concerned about. Contact the appropriate reporting agency and follow its instructions.
SLAP may be able to review information involving online contact with minors, registered-offender concerns, mishandled cases, or survivor advocacy--but contacting SLAP does not replace an official report.
