IF YOU ARE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER, CALL 911.


If you want to want to talk to someone anonymously contact Childhelp USA® at 1-800-4-A-CHILD®. Counselors are available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week to listen, answer your questions, and help you report abuse when and if you are ready.

If you are already a child in the foster system, and want another person on your side, a CASA volunteer may be for you! CASA volunteers help protect your rights and are advocates for you in the court room. Unlike your social worker who works with many children at once, a CASA volunteer helps only one child at a time...you!

If you are in foster care, but still don't feel quite safe, the Bikers Against Child Abuse are on your side. You can call upon these bikers to come to you when you are alone or frightened. BACA will also be there for court appearances or parole hearings.
