A Spanish organisation - ANAR or Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk Foundation - has come up with a unique project - a phone helpline number that is visible only to children using the technique of lenticular photography to help them report abuse.

"But, how can we get our message to a child abuse victim, even when they are accompanied by their aggressor?"
