For Kids

Stranger Danger

You Should Know

• No one has the right to abuse you.
• You don't deserve to be abused.
• If you are being abused, you are a victim.
• It's not your fault that you are being treated this way.
• It is wrong that you are suffering this pain, fear or sadness.
• You are not alone. Other kids suffer abuse, too.
• Sometimes abusers scare or threaten kids so they won't tell.
• There are people who care about you and want to help you.
• If you are being abused, please tell a safe person - that's someone you can trust like a teacher, counselor, school nurse, neighbor or parent. You can also talk to a Childhelp USA hotline counselor:

CALL 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) then push 1

The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The hotline counselors work with translators who speak 140 languages to help people who call and speak something other than English. All calls are anonymous. (The hotline counselors don't know who you are and you don't have to tell them.)

Please feel free to contact Childhelp for help. 1-800-422-4453
