Don't tolerate abuse, call the hotline

Child abuse is taking place in many parts of the country today. Even while you read this article a helpless child is being subjected to abuse, somewhere in this land. Perhaps he or she is suffering silently, unable to cry out for help, out of fear. You can be their voice.

No child should be robbed of his/her childhood or innocence because of an immoral or cruel act of a heartless adult. If you are a victim of abuse or know of any child who is being abused, pluck up courage and reach out for that phone. A hotline has been set up by the National Child Protection Authority (NCPA) especially for YOU. However, don't be hasty to mix up discipline with child abuse. So, be aware, be alert and be protected. Do not tolerate abuse any more.
