Somewhere else?
Contact your local emergency services or a local crisis line. You don’t need to be sure it is “abuse” to reach out. Talking to someone is a good first step.
We checked every number on the operator’s official website on 31 October 2026. If anything differs, the operator’s own website is always right.
