If you are reading this post...then YOU have questions. Yes? You need to know what to do, where do you turn ... and who can you ask for help. If you think a child you know is being abused, in any way...but are unsure who to turn to for advice, I hope the following lists will help.
The MOST important thing you need to do is remain calm. Even if the name of a CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES contact in your town or nearest city is not available, don't give up. Every POLICE DEPT...and every Hospital has access to immediate assistance to provide you with the guidance you need.
The following lists are incomplete...however there are contacts in Most major centers in The United Kindom...The United States of America...Australia. The list needs expanding...if you can add the name of a Government approved agency to this list please leave a comment below...I will confirm the validity of the site and add it to the appropriate listing.
In The United States of America.
