You work hard to protect your kids, but have they been taught how to protect themselves?
The key to effectively teaching your child about safety is for you, the parent, to be educated. Your children look up to you and the more you know, the safer they will be.
Regardless of the warning to “stay away from strangers”, many children are abducted and exploited every year. Why? Because PREDATORS ARE NOT ALWAYS STRANGERS and can be someone they know: the neighbor next door, a relative, a priest, scout leader, lawyer, doctor, dentist, farmer, policeman, store clerk, counselor, bus driver, mailman, ice cream truck driver, care provider or coach. Your child may even have daily contact with this person and you may not even know them.
