The Singapore Children's Society launched on Monday Tinkle Friend Online, the only online chat service for distressed children here.
The service is for primary school children. It provides support, advice, and information to lonely and distressed kids, especially in situations when their parents or main caregivers are unavailable.
This is definitely a good move, especially in Asian, where parents are still practising the traditional ways of running a family. Parents don't really treat their children like friends, much more don't talk about personal issues. Hence it is an avenue where children could seek help, before situations get out of hand.
