Helpline For Children
Child Abuse A child is anyone under the age of 19. Abuse can be physical, emotional or sexual. Abuse can be abandonment, desertion, neglect, ill-treatment, or failure to meet the physical, emotional needs or medical needs of a child. Abuse can be stopped. Round the Clock Help When it concerns abuse, anyone can call the Helpline for Children ... anytime, day or night. Simply dial "310-1234 (no area code needed)". On the Other End of the Phone There is always a social worker at the end of the telephone willing to listen, someone to take action, someone who cares. Just reach for the Helpline. Anyone can call.
