Safety Suggestions
What your children should know
What you should know
What you should not do
What you should tell your children
What your children should know
- Full name, address, and full telephone number (including parent's work number)
- how to call the operator and make a long distance call.
What you should know
- Ensure your doctor/dentist maintains accurate, up-to-date records. If you move, get copies of records to keep
until new clinicians are found. - know how to obtain your child's medical records and dental records quickly in an emergency including x-rays
and documentation of all scars, birthmarks and broken bones. - observe what your children wear every day
- know your child's route to school, friends' full names, where they live and how to contact them
What you should not do
- children's names should not appear on clothing or other personal articles where a stranger can easily see it. A
child is more likely to respond if called by name - children should never be left alone in a car or supermarket cart
What you should tell your children
- Call you if they change agreed-upon plans
- always stay with a friend or group and never go to isolated places
- go to the checkout counter or clerk when separated from you while shopping -- never the parking lot.
- when home alone, never answer the door or tell someone they are home alone when on the phone
- grownups don't need to ask children for help. If a stranger asks them for help, it's best to ignore them, leave the
scene immediately and tell a parent about it. - say 'no' if an adult makes them uncomfortable, asks them to do something or touches them inappropriately.
- kick, scream, fight and yell, 'this is not my daddy or mommy' if a stranger tries to force them to do something.
- if abducted, they should leave their hair in the car and spit all over the door handles and other
places in the car.
