-
Always tell your parents where you will be.
-
Travel in groups or with a buddy. There is safety in numbers.
-
If you see someone hanging around the school yard or the park tell your
parents. Learn to give a good description—Is the person tall or short,
dark or light, colour of eyes and hair, if he/she is driving; colour, make
and model of car and license plate number.
-
Do not travel in dark and lonely areas.
-
Do not accept jobs, rides or gifts from strangers even if you know the
person and let the person know that your parents know.
-
It is not fun to run away from home. There is nothing so terrible that you
cannot tell your parents.
-
Do not take dares to go into lonely places or dark areas.
-
Do not answer the door when you are home alone, or tell people that
you will be alone; if someone persists in calling or trying to get in the
house dial 911 at once.
-
Do not approach people in cars that ask for directions: step back and tell
the occupants that you do not know and then run or walk rapidly away.
Adults should not be asking children for directions.
-
If someone touches you in a way that makes you feel bad or
uncomfortable: yell and tell. It is your body and no one has a right to
make your feel bad even if it is a relative or a friend. Tell and keep
telling until somebody believes you. Remember you did nothing wrong!
-
Do not go with strangers even if they are dressed as policemen. Insist on
running home first.
-
Do not believe people who promise you a TV or modeling career. Tell
your parents if somebody does.
-
If your parents don’t believe you, then tell your teacher or someone you
trust.
