Stranger Danger!
Is your child aware?
What YOU need to know.
- Every person you don't know is a stranger.
- Not every stranger looks like a villain from a disney movie, and some may look normal or average, maybe even friendly.
- If a child is ever scared or worried they're being followed, tell them safe places to go where there are some familiar people.
How you can help your child
- Have your child tell you where they are and where they're going.
- If your child is walking alone, ask a friend if they could walk with them, the more the people, the safer.
- Teach your kid to say no, no matter what the stranger says to convince them.
- Also if you child sees someone suspicious looking at another child, teach them to call 911, even if it may be no big deal, it could save another child.
