When meeting up with an elderly person you've met online, here are some safety tips to consider: 1. Let a friend or family member know the details of your date before you meet - where you are going, who you are meeting and when you expect to be back. 2. Meet in a public place so that it can be easily accessed by others if needed. 3. Drive separately to the destination, so that each person has their own means of transportation should they need to leave unexpectedly.
