Child welfare means (the well being of a child) The question is too broad. Has the child been beaten up? neglected? verbally abused? or any other things done that do not appear normal? call the police department and ask for a child advocate or talk to a teacher church pastor human resources person if you have a job. or give more details on the question?

In the United States, child welfare is administered on a state level with some states having separate county administrations. The scope of the child welfare system within each state varies. In some cases, it may include juvenile justice and mental health services. In other states, child welfare deals only/specifically with child abuse and neglect cases. They may take child abuse referrals, assess the situation, and make a determination about the need for services and/or foster care services. Ultimately, a judge decides if a child needs to be removed from the care of their parent or guardian, with recommendations from a state caseworker and possibly attorneys and other service providers.

Many state child welfare systems coordinate removals of children with law enforcement. In most states, the child welfare agency makes the assessment but a few do have law enforcement do the assessment and actual physical removal of children.

Child welfare systems are a complex collaboration that varies from state to state. You can find more information about specific states by looking on their state website or see the Related Link below
