As part of the efforts of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg to protect children, young people and other vulnerable people in our schools, parishes and ministries, it is important that your report identify:
— the child or children in danger,
— the name of the suspected abuser,
— as well as your name, address and phone number.
Making a report to the Diocese of Ogdensburg, in no way, means that you should not make a report to police or child protective agencies.
