In addition to the single statewide telephone number, there shall  be  a

or to transmit telephone facsimile information on a form provided by the
commissioner  of  children  and family services, alleging child abuse or
maltreatment, and for use by all persons so authorized by this title for
determining the existence of prior reports  in  order  to  evaluate  the
condition or circumstances of a child. When any allegations contained in
such telephone calls could reasonably constitute a report of child abuse
or  maltreatment,  such  allegations  and  any  previous  reports to the
central registry involving the subject of such report or children  named
