Ludacris Aids Runaway Chatline

Ludacris has teamed up with an American charity to promote a new chat service to help distressed runaway teens. 

The American rapper is working with the National Runaway Switchboard in a bid to raise awareness of a new service offering abused and unhappy kids resources and advice after they have left home due to bad circumstances. 

He says, "I'm fortunate I'm in a position where I can help the National Runaway Switchboard reach out to runaway and at-risk youth. I want young people to know they don't have to face their problems alone and this new live chat service will provide another way to get the help they need." 

The service will offer help to find shelter, food, medical or legal assistance.
