A stranger is not necessarily what a person looks like or the clothes they wear, but is someone you do not personally know or have not been introduced to you by your their parents . . . This is a Stranger. If Mom or Dad did not tell the person the code word, the child does not go with them. Adults do not approach children when not with an adult.
Adults talk to other adults.
Do not accept anything from a stranger such as a ride, candy, or any other gift, even if the stranger is asking for help. Know the safest route to and from school. Only talk to a stranger if you are hurt or lost or trying to get away from a person who is trying to hurt you. Remember that a stranger can help you and become your rescuer. Strangers should only talk to adults not children or teenagers.
