If you suspect or witness child abuse in children under 18, you are obligated to report it to the Children’s Counseling Office.
If there is an immediate threat to their lives, call emergency services at 110 immediately.

Child abuse can be:

Physical abuse: Causing bodily injury or pain (punching, kicking, etc)

Neglect: Neglecting/refusing to care for a child, i.e. not feeding them or bathing them; ignoring physical abuse inflicted by a household member

Psychological abuse: Inflicting psychological damage with words like “I wish you were never born,” and other harmful words; psychological wounds from witnessing domestic abuse between parents

Sexual abuse: engaging in sexual acts, showing them explicit videos
