99 Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers As a parent, if you feel unable to safely parent your child, immediately contact your nearest Ministry of Social Services office. As a member of the community, if you believe a child may be neglected or abused, you have a legal responsibility to immediately report your concerns. Time is of the essence in ensuring the safety and well-being of children. Immediately report all incidents of suspected, observed or disclosed abuse.
