REPORTING ABUSE OF A CHILD

If you suspect a child has been a victim of abuse or neglect, please immediately contact Massachusetts Department of Family and Children Services Child-at-Risk-Hotline: 800-792-5200
After reporting, please reach out to our Senior Warden, Jessica Patton: seniorwarden@cotcboston.org

REPORTING ABUSE OR MISCONDUCT WITHIN CHURCH OF THE CROSS (NOT CHILD)

If you have experienced abuse or misconduct at Church of the Cross, by another member or by a lay leader (not ordained), please reach out to our Senior Warden, Jessica Patton: seniorwarden@cotcboston.org

Once a report has been made, we will activate a Parish Response Team immediately, and provide resources for you to have an advocate in the process.

REPORTING CLERGY ABUSE OR MISCONDUCT

 If you have experienced abuse or misconduct by a Church of the Cross clergy member, you can report that complaint here. This form is a confidential consent to contact from an independent, trauma-trained licensed counselor.
