We asked for help. We're still worried.
A previous visit or report does not necessarily mean the danger has ended. If concerns remain or something changes, a qualified professional can help you identify the next appropriate step.
In immediate danger, call 911 when it is safe to do so. Choosing any button on this site does not dispatch help or file a report.
For a child or teen: you still deserve to be heard.
You can tell another qualified adult: “I asked for help before, but I still don’t feel safe.” You do not have to manage an agency review yourself.

You can ask the relevant agency about a supervisor, a specialist child-abuse team, or a victim-services contact. Services and processes differ by jurisdiction — this site does not invent a guaranteed escalation process or imply every area provides identical services.
Safety planning with a professional
Safety planning means thinking with a trained professional about what may help, what could increase danger, and what support is available. These are conversation prompts — not an automated risk assessment. This site does not generate personalized exit plans or promise that any action will prevent escalation.
- "Could contacting someone increase the danger?"
- "How can you contact me in a way that is safer?"
- "What happens if the person hurting us finds out?"
- "Who else may need to be involved?"
- "What should I do if the situation changes?"
