As outlined at the beginning of this chapter, if If the non-abusive parent is in immediate danger they can call 911. The non-abusive parent can also contact VictimLINK at 1-800-563-0808 to access safety planning resources. The non-abusive parent also has an obligation to report the child protection concern to MCFD.
