Parents and caregivers: please take a moment to discuss safety with your child. This is a guide to help you as you review ways to keep your child out of harms way.

I Will Always:

• get permission before going somewhere
• say no to drugs
• trust my inner feelings
• use the buddy system if I go somewhere
• run away from a stranger if approached
• tell someone I trust if someone touches me in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable
• know at least two escape routes from each area of the house in case of an emergency
• walk or play in groups
• call 911 if I'm scared and need help

I Will Never:

• keep secrets that make me feel bad
• accept gifts or money without first checking with my parents
• help a stranger with directions, find their lost pet or in any other way
• touch a weapon
• accept car rides unless I have permission from my parents
• go with anyone who does not know the family "secret code" word
• tell a caller I am home alone

Signed:
