Child Protection Hotline

childprotection

The Kuwait Child Rights Society Ministry of Health have launched a new national child protection hotline as part of the Kuwait National Child Protection Program. The number is 147 and you should call it if you know of a child that is being abused, if you’d like to help and protect a child or if you have any questions related to child abuse.

There is a child that I’ve spotted a few times in the evening selling tissues at the traffic light on the Gulf Road that takes you to the second ring road. I might give them a call the next time I see him there. I mean there are always cops there at that traffic light, but they never seem to care that there is a young kid under 10 years old working at 9PM selling tissue packets at a busy intersection.

On three different occasions I’ve seen two young boys selling car air fresheners (during the day when they should be at school) in the Mubarak Hospital parking lot. This is helpful!

I dont know wht to do my parents still abuse me and treat me like an animal i might end up suciding i aint joking 😫 my life is over

Same… they yell at me and sometimes beat me 😥 am just sick of this and they make fun of me… i hope to find a idea to deal with

I’m 16 and my parents have been abusing me for so long. My father beats me everyday with a wire dragging by grabbing my shirt pinning me to the floor and beating me side by side with a wire. I’m forced to study and become what I dont want to and because I don’t want to, they beat me everyday specially my “father”. As a result I’ve even got diagnosed with severe depression at 11 . Can someone tell me where can I properly report this?? And to those who are suffering the same I hope we all can get out of this mess

Its okay i am 15 and it happens to me alse all you have to do is study and work your way out of this hell.
I am now hiding in the bathroom and texting you. Life is not easy for everyone. Just work hard and beloeve in your self. And i pray for you that you get out of that situation as soon as possible

Call 112, they should deal with this, hopefully you get better sooner out of this hell, you deserve a better family, my father was a bit abusive to me when i was a kid (i didnt do much trouble as i was a child) but he used to punish me with putting a hot sauce, (i was 4 or 5 years old at the time), hopefully you manage to get out of this hell.

Can we call and report car license numbers of small kids hanging out the sunroof or windows of vehicles speeding down the highways? I would even take pictures as proof if needed to backup the claim….

I think it would be considered endangering a minor which is one form of abuse. Even anti-vaccine crusaders can be punished under the child right law.

Just because the parents or driver are retarded and lack safety awareness does not mean the children are abused. This is a traffic code violation, and no amount of pictures will help. I’ve seen cops wave at kids hanging out of the sunroof.

Maybe not, but deliberately and knowingly endangering the life of a child? Wouldn’t that count for something?

I’m 100% sure that under the new law, if a child gets hurt because they are not sitting in the back or not using seatbelts then it’s considered neglect and the driver can be fined or imprisoned or both.

Theoratically, any form of neglect that can endanger a minor physically or emotionally can be considered abuse.

what about the times we see infants in parents laps while they drive??? :@:@:@:@ What can we do about that?

hello im lana i live in kuwait and im 15 years old and still get physically and emotionally abused by my mom i really need help i have no one to talk to and i really wanna report whats happening with me but. my mom and dad are divorced when i was 3 years old and my relationship with my dad is bad we dont talk to each other and his not living in kuwait.

Can you help me to.. am in a abusive family i been abused for years i swear i cant i got enough of it am sick. Please? Anything any idea instagram??.

My friend is also in a bad home situation. Can you guys help me help them. I’m at a loss of what to do.

So, what are we supposed to do if we’re being abused mentally, physically and emotionally, bullied, by peers n teachers and parents in the past but now they’ve stopped and we still want to take an action as in therapy but we’re not yet independent and under 18 and we’re forced to travel back to our country and yeah we just don’t feel safe or normal in any way or form no matter how hard we try. Suffer from many types of mental illnesses but still can’t deal with it?

I need some advice please i have a son his 2 month old now his father is localy kuwaiti. I scape from him when i was pregmnant for 5months bcoz his beating me.even i am pregnant, for the safety of my pregnancy i choose to leave him and hide from him.
Is there any rights for my son?

We’re you both married when you had the baby ? If not than for your and baby safety do not put him as the father especially if your planning on visiting kuwait .
As you know it’s illegal to have a relationship unless married .

If you weee married and you left the country he can legally take the child from you since it’s his right for his child to grow up in his culture, to be honest I would not come back nor ask for anything from him if he was abusive for the safety of your child .

hi . ali here, from Kuwait. there is my frnd. everytime whenever she is alone. she is soo upset. and literally many times i saw her crying. i asked her but she didn’t told me. in front of others. she pretend she is very happy and ok. but when she alone. she seems very upset. even many times i saw marks on face,arms and hands.anyhow she just told me that her parents r not good. and r not treating her good. i want to help her. before she take any wrong step.

This is not okay. There should be child services and human rughts here in khwait especially in the arab world many kids and teens and women are being abused and the ministry does nothing about it, if you ran away good for you, if you need anything like like shelter or money tell me i can help you i just need some time, stay safe everyone x

Hey….I am being almost killed by my parents…I cant live anymore…pls help me…when I am calling 147…it is buzy…my parents dont let me study properly…so.somebody help me….

We should also suggest that they use an email to contact them through for kids, or teens who might have trouble reaching the phone or scared of someone listening over them, or insecure to directly talk about their issues through the phone.

I am in India now, I know a Kuwaiti child is being used for sex by its mother, I have a photo of the child sitting naked on his face, I can clearly see the child’s face but I can not see their face, I know their address, where can I file a complaint with the Kuwaiti police Will there be action if given? They have influence over the police, where should I file a complaint outside Kuwait if no action is taken in Kuwait? Please help and give them the punishment they deserve

Is having a kid’s eyebrows hurt and her eyeglasses broken when an elevator’s door slams her face, despite of reporting its malfunction on previous several occaissions, and having a reply from 122 Kuwait that they cannot help and we have to go report this in the police station.. accepted by your organization?!

(.. they are still making fun of me and harashing me..) i just wanna run away i dont care where i will go

My Dad always punishes me harshly and he always defends my younger brother, even if my younger brother hits me my dad will join him and they would hit me together , I am only 13 , I am feeling really sad, my dad is really aggressive on me , his punishments are harsh and he hits with a thin,long stick with 0 mercy, I hope he doesn’t see this cause he will abuse me much much more. He is so evil, Everytime he hits me I make the same mistake of forgetting about it and acting as he is a normal good dad that loves me(which he doesn’t). He has done very good things to me before, but he has done more bad than good. He maybe still wants me but I don’t want him at all, I want another father that actually loves me and doesn’t hit me like that, I don’t care about the money or whatever my father pays or buys me , because he doesn’t give me love, he only gives me hate, I want a good father that loves me and doesn’t hit me, as I am writing this I am tasting blood in my throat, probably because he hit my arms and elbow and neck area really hard. If anyone sees this , don’t hesitate to help, just help me. reply to this comment with any tips. I don’t know what to do because it is currently coronavirus season and I am scared of doing anything, please reply with tips of what should I do.

Hello. Are you there? Im an abused child too and it was really very sad to read this…Im 15 and my parents used to hit me too. The child abuse hotline of kuwait is not working since last year. I also have\had problem of seeing my abusers as good parents. Its a sick feeling and I hate it. Remember always that you are not wrong. You are not a bad child. You don’t deserve this. You should have a good life. Please don’t forget those things. As for what to do I am not sure. Do you have anyone you can talk to about this? In case of serious injury how do you get medical care? Does anyone else know your father treats you like this? I suggest avoiding your fathers anger by listening to him how much is possible for your safety. But I know its not a perfect solution. Still beatings can happen :(. But try if you can to lessen it. Also I suggest keeping a diary or journal online or written so you have some space to be free with your feelings. I will pray for you mashallah. Sending a hug in spirit.

Please does someone know a place i can msg cause i cannot call the hotline on a call its kinda hard for me and if my parents heard me i will get punishment

I’ve got this 16 year old friend of mine living in Kuwait who’s a non-kuwaiti national who has a really abusive mother as well as a creep of a cousin who’s in his 30s and he has tried multiple times to rape my friend demanding her to have oral sex with him. Now the thing about her cousin is that my friend’s mom trusts her cousin more than her daughter herself so technically her cousin has the upper hand, and to make matters worse if she doesn’t agree to have sex with her cousin he constantly keeps threatening of blackmailing her about how she cuts herself alongside with a lot of made up bullshit. My friend is facing severe depression and is contemplating suicide every now and then, please help me out!
