Child and Youth Protection

Under Maryland law any person who has reason to believe a child has been subjected to sexual abuse or other abuse must report the suspected abuse to civil authorities (local law enforcement or the local Department of Social Services Child Protective Services), even if the potential victim is now over 18 years old and even in cases where the alleged perpetrator is deceased.

​

More information can be found on the Archdiocesan Child and Youth Protection webpage, or call: 410-547-5348
