Child abuse hotline is an Alberta wide number that operates 24 hours a day. You can call this number if you or children you know is being abused, neglected, or sexually exploited. Help is available is multiple languages. So not knowing how to speak English would not be a barrier in getting the help needed. This hotline also helps an individual to find resources in their area. I think this is a great service because youth can contact someone anytime they need. It also may be easier to speak to someone over the phone than in person.
