Stranger Danger
Teach your children that if they see anyone doing something that doesn't seem right to tell you the parents, a teacher, or another trusted adult. Some examples are:
-
a stranger hanging around the park or school playground.
-
someone unknown offering rides to or from school.
-
a stranger offering gifts or treats.
-
a stranger asking a child to come with them to help in locating a "lost" dog or cat.
-
someone giving away or selling drugs
-
a bigger kid bullying or threatening younger children.
If you become aware of something that you think may threaten yours or other children notify authorities by calling 911
