DCF hotline a defense against abuse, neglect - Connecticut Post

Debbie Bassett takes calls at the Connecticut Department of Children and Families Abuse and Neglect Hotline, in the DCF’s office in Hartford. Bassett receives reports of abuse and other problems involving children and the DCF decides whether to open an investigation.
It's a question Debbie Bassett asks about 10 times a day, and usually begins a fairly one-sided conversation in which she documents anything from the sexual abuse of a child to a child's habitual absence from school.
