Each year thousands of children are victimized by crime. No matter what your age, sex or race or where you live and go to school, you too can become a victim of crime. Safety On The Streets Have your mom or dad, or both of them, walk your school route with you to make sure it is safe. When your mom or dad cannot walk you, walk with a friend. Two heads are better than one, especially if there's an emergency.
Strangers usually pick on one person.
Always stick to the same route when going and coming from school. Don't take short cuts. Be observant as you walk. Be aware of your surroundings. If you think you are being followed, you can cross the street.
