If someone in a place chat worries you, tap ⋯ beside their message and choose a reason. "A child may be at risk" and "Someone may hurt themselves" go to the top of the moderator's list. The message is hidden for you at once. Block them too if you like: their messages vanish for you, and yours for them.
Japa's moderators read reports at least once a day. That is not fast enough for an emergency: if someone could be hurt now, call the numbers above.
