Child Protection, Child Helpline, Child Abuse - Help for Kids

Here's a page with contact info for child helplines in a long list of countries.

If you can't find your country, I suggest you phone Child Helpline International and ask them. They are based in Holland; so, if you're not calling them from Holland, dial your country's International Direct Dialling code (mostly it's '00') then dial 31 20 528 96 27 (if you're in Holland, dial 020 528 96 27). Or you can e-mail them: click here.


Get this kids.

You and all other kids need to have a good life, as kids; then you can carry on and have a good full life as adults. That means no one's allowed to mess around with you. I mean, you've got a right to fair treatment, same as adults have that right. But more. As a child you need to be protected from some of the harder and harsher ways of the world, because you're not yet strong or fully developed or wary of danger: you're still learning. You have a right to a protected childhood with as much love as you can get.

When a child is badly treated that can affect their life as an adult, leaving them with bad memories and being afraid to trust people.

So, if an adult messes with or harshly treats you or anyone you know, check this website here for a phone number to call or an email address to write to. If you're not sure about things, just ask them: they'll be friendly.

Childhood is precious; don't let anyone mess with yours.


Thanks to Jesse of the North for the Child Helpline International link.
