Team Players has complied this list of tips to for parents and children. Keep them handy and review them often, as the key to prevention is awareness.
- Children should know their complete name, address (including city and state) and their telephone number (including the area code).
- Children should know that a stranger is ANYONE they don't know.
- Children should know that it is okay to say NO to an adult, if they feel uncomfortable or don't know the adult, even if it seems rude.
- Children should know that NO ONE has the right to touch any part of their body that a bathing suit would cover.
- Children should tell a parent if they are asked to keep a secret from you.
- Children should never get into anyone's car without their parent's permission.
- Children should not take candy or gifts from a stranger.
- Children shouldn't help strangers. Stranger's don't need to ask children for help.
- Children should run away from cars that pull up beside them if they do not know the driver.
- Children should never wear clothing or carry items with their name printed on the outside.
- Children should never say they are alone when they answer the phone and should never answer the door if they are alone.
- Children should not invite people into their home without their parents permission.
- Children should always let their parents know where they are.
- Children shouldn't’t play in deserted buildings or isolated areas.
- Children should scream and scatter books or belongings if they are forced into a car or building.
- Children should be able to identify "safe" people (like store clerks, mother's with children, and police officers) if ever lost.
- Children should know that police officers are friendly and can help them, if needed.
- Children should never be left unattended, even for a minute. An up-to-date photo, medical and dental records and children’s finger prints should be kept in a safe and accessible place.
