Why Hotlines Need Updating
Keeping a list of
Suicide Hotlines on your site is a problem
that requires some extra work and responsibility... |
Most Webmasters Don't Know
that the Hotlines need
frequent updating ! |
There are THOUSANDS of OUT OF SERVICE & OBSOLETE
hotline numbers listed by well meaning webmasters.
|
| |
Here's Why...
|
- Hotline numbers frequently change or go obsolete due to loss of funding, organizational changes, & area code changes.
|
What happens to the old phone numbers ? |
They get reassigned !
- The new number can belong to any kind of business,
personal residence, fax number, modem, who knows!!
|
Suicidal Callers can get
- out of service numbers,
- someone's home number
- or even a sex hotline !
- This has happened to lots of numbers.
|
Recently an organization lost their web site and a porn site went
up in it's place !!
|
A number in Hawaii went to a casket store ! Yikes !

-
By providing a generic, text only version of the
hotlines for other webmasters to COPY and PASTE or Save As a PDF into their own
sites perhaps will help us have the most accurate list of suicide hotline
phone numbers possible.
-
The numbers are public information and no copyright
is claimed on SuicideHotlines.net.
-
Webmasters can now more easily link to the home page or individual state pages or link them into frames on their own sites.
-
The state pages are plain with no identifying links.
|
The internet is full of Bad Numbers.
Let's clean up the internet !
