Travel in groups or with a buddy, there is safety in numbers.
If you see someone hanging around the school yard or the park, tell your teacher or parent. Learn to give a good description – is the person tall or short, dark or light skinned, eye and hair colour. If he or she is in a vehicle – the make and model of the car and the license plate number.
Do not accept job offers, rides or gifts from any stranger. Even if you know the person, do not go with him or her unless you tell your parents first.
Do not take dares to go to remote places.
It is no fun to run away from home. Nothing is so terrible that you can not tell your parents or another trusted adult.
Do not answer the door when you are home alone. Do not tell people that you will be alone.
If someone persists in calling or trying to get in, call the police at once.
Do not go up to people who are asking directions from a vehicle: step back and tell them you do not know and walk away quickly. Adults should not be asking children for directions.
If someone touches you in a way that feels bad, YELL AND TELL. It is your body and nobody has the right to make you feel bad. TELL your parents, teacher or someone else you trust.
Do not go with strangers, even if they are dressed like a policeman or if they promise you such things as a movie career. Talk with your parents first.
