- There has been a rash of reports about child abuse in the press lately,
- to many in fact, as the size of this new threat to the health and welfare of
- our children grows ever larger. Its a complicated and difficult problem, and
- each case needs the special attention of experienced counselors and advisors.
- But help may be difficult to obtain if you do not know where to turn when the
- need for help becomes critical. Here are two invaluable Hotline numbers to
- help you. The Parents Anonymous Hotline--800-421-0353 (800-352-0386 in
- California) is available 24 hours a day and provides information for parents
- involved in child abuse, and referrals to self help groups in your area. The
- National Child Abuse Hotline--800-422-4453, a privately funded service
- provides crisis assistance, also 24 hours a day, as well as referrals to local
- social service groups offering counseling.
