Florida's Department of Children and Families lets reporters submit abuse reports to the Florida Abuse Hotline online through its Mandated Reporter Portal. It covers abuse, abandonment or neglect of a child and abuse, neglect or exploitation of a vulnerable adult. A clinician can use it when no one is in immediate danger and there is time to gather the details first.
The reporter, whether a mandated professional such as a physician or nurse or any other person, completes the whole online report.

Florida Abuse Hotline Mandated Reporter Portal (online abuse report)
This form is completed online with Florida Department of Children and Families, Florida Abuse Hotline, so there is no PDF to fill. Vero Scribe writes the visit note it draws on, so the details are ready when you complete it.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

When the situation requires immediate attention. DCF states that web reporting is not for those cases: if a child or vulnerable adult is in immediate danger, call 911 first and then the Florida Abuse Hotline's toll-free number. Use the online portal when there is no imminent risk and you have gathered the information in advance.
Yes. The Florida Abuse Hotline takes reports of child abuse, abandonment and neglect and of abuse, neglect and exploitation of vulnerable adults, and the online portal accepts both. The fax transmittal form also covers both, with an extra question about an adult victim's disability and ability to self-protect.
