Tips For Protecting Your Kids or Other Kids!

Nowadays, anything can happen. I read a newspapers this morning and found out about 3 cases per day that kids were kidnapped and worst of all, you don't know where was your fault for not protecting them? And here, I compiled my researches from all different kind of sources and i'd hope you should take note from now on.


Experts say parents should tell their children to...

• Never talk to strangers. It's a simple, but effective strategy.

• Always be suspicious - not to assume everyone is trustworthy.

• Never leave with anyone other than their parent or someone that the parent has approved.

• To scream as loud as possible if they feel threatened: "You're not my mommy!" "You're not my daddy!" To cry, "HELP" sometimes is seen as a child who might be disobeying one of their parents. (I heard this one on Fox News 2/04)

• To seek out the first adult they see for help if they feel threatened.

Then experts say parents should...

• Be specific when going over possible dangerous scenarios with children - In the incident in California, the abductor allegedly lured Samantha Runnion by saying he was looking for a missing dog.

• Give your child some sort of training, either with Karate, or some form of self defense. This protection will last a lifetime.

• When going to bed make sure the doors and windows are locked.

• Monitor the computer. You never know who your child may be talking to.

• When walking any place, make sure your child is always with a friend.

Always remember that child abductions don't just happen somewhere else!
