It has been said that children are our most valuable resource.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that we take positive
measures to insure their safety and prevent them from becoming
victims of crime.
Parents...
- Never leave children alone; not at home, in a vehicle, at
play, or anywhere.
- Define what a STRANGER is. Let your kids know that just
because they see someone everyday (e.g. mailman, paperboy,
neighbor, etc.) it does not mean these people are not strangers.
- Teach your children their full name, your name, full address,
and phone number, including area codes. Teach them how to use a
phone.
- Teach your children the "What if...?" Game, making up
different dangerous situations that they might encounter and
helping them play out what they would do in that situation.
- Take the time to talk to your children and be alert to any
noticeable changes in their behavior or attitude toward an adult
or teenager; it may be a sign of sexual abuse.
- Set up procedures with your child's school or day care center
as to whom the child will be released to other than yourself,
and what notification procedure they are to follow if the child
does not show up on time.
- Teach your children that their body is private and no one has
the right to touch them in a way that makes them feel
uncomfortable. If anyone touches them in a wrong way, they
should: SAY NO, GET AWAY, and TELL SOMEONE they trust.
