I can understand that concern, but I think people might be reacting out of recognition that this is more an advertising stunt than an informed strategy at addressing child abuse.
Either way these tactics speak to a failing system in not approaching students where they are away from their abuser - school.
While the ad has great intent, it simplifies the issue a bit by implying that kids aren't calling in abuse because they can't find the number.

This a thousand times. It feels like something the scientist on the Simpsons invented -- very clever but utterly missing the point. I would be shocked if even a single child uses the poster as they're imagining it will be used.
