Stranger Safety Tips for Children
Your feelings tell you that you are safe with some people like your mom or dad, brothers or sisters; your grandparents; teachers at school.
People that you do not know very well can mean danger. You may meet these people anywhere, in the streets, stores, theaters, or on the playgrounds. These people are strangers. Simply, a stranger is someone that you do not know.
Not all strangers are bad, but it is very difficult to tell bad strangers from good strangers. Strangers can come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages. Even a teenager could be considered a stranger to you.
If a "stranger" comes towards you, you should:
● Never talk to a stranger.
● Never go near a stranger.
● Never accept gifts or rides from a stranger.
● Never go anywhere with a stranger.
Report strangers to your parents, teachers, bus drivers, or an adult that you know well.
The main rule to remember: "Stay away from strangers".
When you are alone at home, always lock the door. Do not answer the door if someone knocks. Never let strangers into the house. If the telephone rings, answer it. Do not tell anyone that you are alone. You can tell them your parent cannot come to the phone right now. Ask who is calling, and offer to take a message.
