Answer: The following is general legal information. To understand how a law applies to a specific situation, contact an attorney directly. A parent with custody has a duty to provide for a child and cannot subject the child to harm through neglect. See A.R.S § 13-3619. If there is concern for a child's safety, the local child welfare agency may be able to offer assistance. The Arizona Child Protective Services has a hotline, which allows anonymous reports of abuse and neglect. The number is 1-888-767-2445.
