If
you need help or have questions about child abuse, call the numbers below
or E-mail them. The phone numbers offer hotline counselors who are there
365 days a year to help kids, and adults who are worried about kids they
suspect are being abused, even if it's you. You can call these numbers
if you live in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam or the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
The calls are free and anonymous. (The hotline counselors don't know
who you are and you don't have to tell them.) There won't be a charge
for the call on your telephone bill if you use a regular phone or a pay
phone. If you use a mobile phone or cell phone, there may be a charge
and it may show up on the telephone bill. Don't use a mobile or cell phone
if you want to be sure your call is a secret. But please...do not make
prank calls to the hotline. This will tie up the phones and keep us from
talking to someone who really needs help right away.
