Child Safety Tips
- I will always tell my parents where I am going and when I'll be home and return home before dark.
- I will always play or go places with at least one other person - NOT alone.
- I know my body belongs to me. I will trust my feelings. I will say NO and run away from a situation that doesn't feel right.
- There are certain kinds of strangers that can assist me when I need help. For instance: mothers with children, other children, police in uniform or store clerks in the mall.
- I will walk and play at places my parents said were OK. I will avoid shortcuts or alleys.
- I will not allow adults to trick or force me into going places or doing things like; help find pets, carry packages, take pictures, play games, or take drugs with them. I will always check with my parents first.
- I will not accept candy, money, gifts or rides from any adult without my parent's permission.
- I will always lock my home and car doors. I will not tell anyone that I am home alone.
- I will learn to dial 911. I will learn to use the pay phone without money. I will learn my address and phone number.
- I will always walk against traffic on the sidewalk.
