Child protective services or whatever is similar in your state should have a phone number in the book. They're always willing to take confidential calls and are willing to keep your name out of it for you but you will need to give them enough information so that they can act on it properly.

∙ 14y agoIf you are the child who is being abused and you are afraid to tell a parent, you must seek help from another adult. There are different types of abuse: physical, sexual, emotional/psychological and neglect. If you are not close to any adults, call the police and they will help you immediately. They may remove you from your situation until they can discover what is happening. You may have to go into a temporary foster home until the proper authorities have investigated your situation. You need to know that all forms of abuse are wrong and you are absolutely not to blame yourself. The adults in your life have a responsibility to protect you and if they don't, they need to be held accountable.
If you are a woman married to a man ( or a man who is being abused by his wife) (replace significant other in that as well) who is abusing you, call 911. No matter how afraid you are to leave an abusive situation, you will find the help and the means you need to stand on your own...no matter what your education level. The first step is admitting to yourself that you deserve to be treated with love and respect.
If you are an elderly adult, you can call adult protective services and 911 as well.
Whenever your life is in imminent danger, call the police. If you are enduring a situation that places your mental or physical health in jeopardy, get help. There are support groups as well and attend one meeting and you will find the community resources available to help you in your situation.
If you really do not know if what is happening to you is abuse...you can call the non-emergency number for your local police and they will be able to help you.
