This Christmas, a child will contact Childline every 45 seconds on average.
For children suffering abuse, Christmas can mean being trapped with their abusers and cut off from friends and support networks. They have no one to turn to.
Childline is here 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. But we need your help to answer more life-saving calls.
Please donate now and help Childline be a lifeline this Christmas.
Mum and dad are always shouting, fighting and dad hits mum. My dad smashed the house up today and I was sent upstairs, but I could hear everything.
I could hear mum crying - none of this is her fault. I want him to go.
Everyone says, ‘Happy Christmas’ but mine was horrible.
