Parents and caregivers: please take a moment to discuss safety with your child. This is a guide to help you as you review ways to keep your child out of harms way.
I Will Always:
- get permission before going somewhere
- say no to drugs
- trust my inner feelings
- use the buddy system if I go somewhere
- run away from a stranger if approached
- tell someone I trust if someone touches me in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable
- know at least two escape routes from each area of the house in case of an emergency
- walk or play in groups
- call 911 if I’m scared and need help
I Will Never:
- keep secrets that make me feel bad
- accept gifts or money without first checking with my parents
- help a stranger with directions, find their lost pet or in any other way
- touch a weapon
- accept car rides unless I have permission from my parents
- go with anyone who does not know the family “secret code” word
- tell a caller I am home alone
