Viewers were asked if they would take part in the survey in an edition of "That's Life!". A helpline was opened after the programme so that any child currently suffering abuse could call for help. Rantzen, together with her BBC producers Sarah Caplin and Ritchie Cogan, therefore suggested they should create a helpline specifically for children in danger or distress, to
Childline through their website. They have a "chat to us button" in which young people can click and chat to a member of their team live. This service is available from 10am until 4am every day.
