If you are a child experiencing abuse/ neglect, or if you know or suspect that a child is in danger:

You are not alone, and help is available.
No one deserves to be hurt, threatened, or made to feel unsafe. Your safety and well-being matter.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911 right away.

If you need to talk to someone or get help, you can reach out to the National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453). Trained counselors are available 24/7 to listen, support, and connect you to help—confidentially and without judgment.

For adults or anyone who suspects a child is being abused or neglected:
Trust your instincts. If you see something concerning, you can make a difference by reporting it to child protective services or law enforcement. You do not have to prove abuse—your call could help keep a child safe.

Every child deserves to be safe, supported, and heard.
If you’re unsure what to do, reaching out is always the right step.
