Why kids call child helplines...
A girl disclosed that her mother had left her in a park as she could no longer financially support her. A custodian adopted her. In return she was required to beg, sell shoes and do all the household chores. If she earned too little she could be physically and verbally abused. The evidence was clear - she had pinch marks and cigarette burns.
Our mission
To respond to children in need of care and protection and voice their concerns to policy and decision-makers by establishing a global network of children's helplines and provide support to individual child helplines.

More, and younger, kids calling for help
The young caller's voice is high-pitched and trembling. Her mother's been drinking, she says. They got into a fistfight, so the girl grabbed her backpack and a cellphone and bolted, with little thought about where a 13-year-old could go on a cold night. Hiding in an alley off her rural hometown's deserted main street, she calls the only phone number she can think of: 1-800 RUNAWAYmore
