Emergency hotlines
If a child is in immediate danger, contact the local emergency number first. Below are the well-known numbers; verify with the official source before relying on them — they may have changed.
| Jurisdiction | Number |
|---|---|
| EU (most) | 112 |
| UK | 999 |
Emergency contacts
- EU (most) — 112 (European Emergency Number; free from any phone)
- UK — 999 (also 112 from mobile phones)
- Numbers in other jurisdictions are listed in the sources directory once the registry is populated.
Immediate steps
- Stay with the child; do not act alone.
- Keep evidence: URLs, timestamps, screenshots where lawful.
- If the case is not a present danger, contact the local non-emergency hotline (jugendschutz.net in Germany, ecpat in EU, NCMEC in the US).
