How can a person ask for help?
The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was founded in Britain in 1884.
The number of children the society helps has increased up to 75,000 a year on average, nearly half of them under 5 years of age.
Many parents are said to beat their children, not because they are violent but because they have problems which fill them with despair (отчаяние).
The NSPCC has inspectors all over the country who are acquainted with the problems, and if anybody has a suspicion (подозрение) that a child is being treated badly, one of these inspectors can be informed. Occasionally, a letter from someone who suspects that the parents beat their children but does not want to give his name, is the first hint of parents' cruelty.
Some people who work there are volunteers.
This organisation is universally accepted as one of the most important services. It also includes child health care, the care and protection of single parents.
