Offices within local
communities are responsible for receiving and investigating
reports of suspected child abuse and neglect. Reports are
received by the Department of Social Services (DSS) located in
each county and assessed to determine whether the report meets
the legal definition of abuse or neglect and each situation’s
degree of danger. If you suspect abuse, Dorchester Children’s
Center offers several ways to report it. If you need assistance
with this process, please contact us at (843) 875-1551.
