By texting the word "Safe" and an address, teens can get a text message back with the nearest Safe Place location and a toll free number for immediate help.
Whether they are being abused or just need someone to talk to, organizers hope teens will text for help. "If we get to them before their 18th birthday, if we get to them while they're still in school and working towards goals, then we can help them pursue those goals and become protective members of society," said [said NPHY's Tim Mullin].
Teens have to text the word Safe and their address to 69866. they'll get a text message right back with the nearest Safe Place location.
