WHEN YOUR CHILD IS OUT WITHOUT YOU
By ADT-Alarm Research
TIPS FOR CHILDREN
  1. Never accept gifts from strangers or go anywhere with them.
  2. Never give your name or address to a stranger.
  3. Never play in a vacant house or a wooded area.
  4. If a stranger asks you for help say "No", then get away and tell your parents. Adults ask adults for help, not children.
  5. Make sure your parents know where you are and who you are with.
  6. If you ever get a "funny feeling", or if someone ever touches you and makes you feel "funny", tell your parents or a trusted adult.
  7. Never go with an adult, even one you know, unless they have the password that you and your parents have decided on.
  8. If you get lost while shopping, find a policeman or store clerk. They will help you find your parents.
