Safety tips for children, parents and community

Children

• I will always play or go places with at least one other person -- versus alone.
• I know my body belongs to me. I will trust my gut instinct. I will say NO and run away from a situation that doesn't feel right.
• I will always tell my parents where I am going and when I'll be home. I will return home before dark.
• I will walk and play on the routes my parents said were OK. I will avoid shortcuts or alleys.
• I will not accept candy, money, gifts or rides from any adult without my parent's permission.
• I will not engage in dialogues with adults I do not know. I will back away from them if they try to talk to me.
• I will always lock my home and car doors. I will not admit that I am home alone.
• I will learn to dial 911. I will learn to use the pay phone without money. I will learn my address and phone number.
• I will always walk against traffic on the sidewalk.
• I will not allow adults to trick or force me into going places or doing things such as help find pets, carry packages, take pictures, play games, or take drugs with them. I will always check with my parents first.

Parents

• Have a private family code word for emergencies.
• Maintain current ID, including photograph, video and fingerprints.
• Maintain current addresses and phone numbers of your children's friends.
• Do not advertise your child's name on clothing, school supplies or backpacks.
• It is important to keep all doors and windows locked.
• Seek alternatives to leaving children alone in the home, on the street or in the car.
• Children should know their phone number and how to use a pay-phone without money to call home or 911.
• Be a role model to your children. Settle arguments with words, not violence.
• By promoting your child's self-esteem and letting them know that you love them for who they are, you will teach them the self-confidence they need to avoid drugs and crime.
• Listen to your children. Encourage them not to keep secrets from you.
• Your child should know that certain strangers can be helpful such as Police Officer, moms with children, and store clerks.
• Teach your children what to do if they become separated in a crowd or a store. Seek assistance from a helpful stranger.

Community

• When time allows, volunteer at your children's school or in after school activities.
• Knowing your neighbors and neighborhood is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your family's safety.
• Work with local law enforcement to organize a neighborhood watch program. Establish safe houses on every block.
• Report any crimes or suspicious activities to the police, school authorities and parents.
• Insist that your legislators, at all levels, support laws that are protective of and designed to benefit children.
