Teach your children to never answer the door not just to strangers.- Children should know how to dial 911 make it simple always tell them 911 not any other number.
- Children, even young ones, should know their name, address, and phone number (put it in their cloths).
- Caution teenagers about “blind dates” or meeting someone they do not know or someone they met on the Internet, we see this go bad weekly on our patrols.
- Let children know they should not give out personal information, such as home address, absence of adults, etc. over the phone or on the internet or in public places.
- Teach children to (Scream it) say NO to strangers or even people they know if they are uncomfortable with the situation. Most abusers are someone you and they know well.
- Teach children how to get out of the house and where to go in case of emergency (hide old cell phones they all dial 911) but test first per State.
