Childline says over a third of its calls are going unanswered because of a lack of funding.

The children’s charity says almost 840-thousand calls were received last year – that’s 2-thousand 360 a day.
However, the charity – which receives no Government funding – says 800 voices are not being heard on a daily basis.
54-thousand calls it did receive were for emotional abuse – and the organisation has launched a campaign focusing specifically on this area.
Director of Services Caroline O’Sullivan says children reporting this type of abuse are not just trying to demonise parents.
