Resources

If you are a parent, child, aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparent or even just a friend and you know that someone in your family is being abused, I urge you to contact the proper authorities.

I have searched the internet for these resources and I hope that someone will use them.

If you are a child or a parent and you need help, please call 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) press 1 to talk to a hotline councilor.

The child help website has tons of resources that you will need if you know that a child is being abused. Don’t wait, just do it now.
