Report abuse of minors, vulnerable adults. The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City through its programs, organizations and events, has numerous daily contacts with many minors and vulnerable adults. It is, therefore, important that all archdiocesan personnel, clergy, seminarians, religious, employees and volunteers, protect the rights of children and vulnerable adults and be alert to the possibility for child abuse and abuse of vulnerable adults. Under Oklahoma law, all individuals MUST report an incident or suspicion of sexual abuse of a minor (person under age 18) to the civil authorities immediately. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services has established a statewide abuse hotline for reporting: (800) 522-3511. This number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have reason to believe a child is in immediate danger call 9-1-1. For the safety of children and vulnerable adults and the healing of victims, the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City provides an Abuse of Minors and Vulnerable Adults Pastoral Response Hotline for reporting the abuse of minors and vulnerable adults (in the past or present) by a member of the clergy or other church personnel: (405) 720-9878. The archdiocesan victim assistance coordinator, a licensed professional counselor, will respond to calls to the Archdiocesan Pastoral Response Hotline. A report to the archdiocese does not relieve the individual of the duty to report child abuse to civil authorities
