What should I do if I think a small child is forced to work alone or with a parent (eg. begging)?

Do you have a child aged 0-3 or expecting a baby?

The Belgian law prohibits child labour. Under the age of 15 it is illegal for a child to work since they are still subject to compulsory schooling on a full-time basis. If you know of a child who is physically or psychologically abused, do not hesitate to take action, for example by calling the SOS-Enfants team in your area. If the child is in serious and imminent danger, do not hesitate to contact the police (101).
