When you know—or even suspect—a child’s or youth’s safety is at risk. Call4Kids is a hotline where trained volunteers are ready to take calls about children and youth in trouble. What kind of trouble? Just about any kind. Call if you suspect:

- Assault
- Baby crying too long
- Beatings
- Bullying
- Neglect
- Molestation
- Self-injury

Every call is confidential. And even if you’re unsure whether something is wrong, make the call. Remember, every call is potentially lifesaving.
If you wait, it’s too late. (901) 274-7477.
Call4Kids began as an initiative of the Mayor’s Office and the Memphis Crisis Center, in collaboration with local child agencies. Initial funding was provided by the Assisi Foundation of Memphis.
