Child-Abuse Line Offers Counseling
Children, troubled parents, or adults with a history of child abuse have access to round-the-clock professional counselors through the ChildHelp USA Hot Line: (800) 4-A-CHILD.
The hot line is sponsored by the Independent Order of Foresters, a fraternal organization, and offers counseling by people trained in psychology, as well as referrals and loaner videos and other educational material. All calls are confidential and handled in that manner.
