One of the most important ways to teach our kids to be safe is to teach them 'how' to think. Child abductors use many disquises to lure children into their vehicle or away from their friends and family. Teaching children how to react in these situations gives them a weapon to fight back with.
Police recommend parents use a password that is simple to remember or means something to the child.
Without the correct password the child is not to go with the person. It is vitally important children know to come to you immediately if they are approached by a stranger. The sooner you get the information out to the police, the better the chances of catching the person. Children should be taught how to use the telephone correctly, from how to dial their own number, including the area code, to how to dial from a pay phone. They should know how to make an emergency call using the 911.
