Stranger
Safety
-- from
March/April 1998 Newsletter
Please discuss the following safety information with your family and daycare
families.
ARE STRANGERS DANGEROUS? You never know ... That's why you should do
these things:
- Don't accept anything from a
stranger.
- Don't agree to anything
suggested by a stranger.
- If a person makes you feel
uncomfortable, walk away.
- Don't talk to strangers; they
may not be telling the truth.
- NEVER accept a ride or go
with a stranger.
WHAT DO YOU DO IF APPROACHED BY A STRANGER?
- Shout "NO" and get
away quickly.
- Tell a trusted adult, or if
an adult is not present, call 9-1-1 or "0" for operator.
- Don't hang up until you are
told to do so; listen for instructions.
- Remember what the person
looked like and what the person was wearing.
I'M LOST -- NOW WHAT?
- Stay calm and alert.
- Stay where you are and think.
- Your parents or your group
may be looking for you.
- Give them a chance to find
you.
- If no one arrives soon, look
for a police officer or other trusted adult.
- Know your address and phone
number.
- Find a telephone and dial
9-1-1 (pay phones are "free" for 9-1-1 calls).
