Reporting abuse/pastoral response hotline 
It is important all archdiocesan personnel – clergy, seminarians, religious, employees and volunteers – protect the rights of children and be alert to the possibility of child abuse. Under Oklahoma law, all individuals MUST report an incident or suspicion of sexual abuse of a minor (person under age 18) to civil authorities immediately. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services has established a statewide abuse reporting hotline – (800) 522-3511. This number is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you feel a child is in immediate danger of harm call 9-1-1. In addition, the archdiocese provides an Abuse of Minors Pastoral Response Hotline for reporting the abuse of a minor (in the past or present) by a member of the clergy or other church personnel – (405) 720-9878. The archdiocesan victims’ assistance coordinator, a licensed professional counselor, will respond. A report to the archdiocese does not relieve the individual of the duty to report child abuse to civil authorities as required by state law. In Oklahoma, failure to report child abuse is a misdemeanor punishable by law.
