-
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. Read about the "Back
Pack Toss".
-
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.
