| We
are hoping to be able to add suitable resources for the abused as
time goes by. These resources will be both physical reources and online
resources. Resources are also available through the links page of this site. While many links may be country specific, they do carry information of a general nature as well and, as such, are worth reading |

POLICE:
In
many countries throughout the world, the police operate special units
for children who are abused. Please contact your local police for
access to such services in your country.
