Get Help NowCall the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD
 The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A
lot of people don't realize it, but every day in the United States
thousands of kids are abused and neglected. That adds up to millions of kids each
year.
Often children and teens are abused or neglected by the people who
are closest to them like family, friends, sitters, neighbors and
sometimes even teachers and coaches. These are the very people that
children should feel the safest with.
If you need help or have questions about child abuse or child neglect, call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) then push 1 to talk to a counselor.
The
Hotline counselors are there 365 days a year to help kids, and adults
who are worried about kids they suspect are being abused or neglected. You can call
this number if you live in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam
or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The call is 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.
