Child Safety and Protection: Easy Steps You Can Take ?" Part 3 of 3
Summary
It's a reality that you can't always be with your child. Sometimes, they are left in the care of other adults. Disturbingly, most child abductions are carried out by people the child knows. Here are essential tips to empower your child with the awareness they need to stay safe, even when you're not there.
Empowering Your Child with Awareness
Children can learn to recognize certain "red flags" that often precede abductions. For instance, potential predators might test children by encouraging them to keep secrets. Teach your child to always tell you if someone asks them to keep a secret.
Key Safety Tips:
1. Understand Personal Boundaries:
Your child should know that no one should touch or attempt to touch areas of their body covered by a bathing suit. This applies to them touching others as well. The body is personal and private.
2. Safety in Vehicles:
Teach your child to ask drivers not to leave them alone in the car. If alone, they should roll up the windows except for a small gap, lock the doors, and stay near the car horn. If approached by a stranger, they should sound the horn.
3. Right to Say No:
Reinforce that they have the right to refuse anyone who makes them feel uncomfortable, tries to take them somewhere, or touches them inappropriately.
4. Reacting to Threats:
In an abduction attempt, instruct them to yell, "This is NOT my parent!" and continue shouting until they draw attention.
5. Safe Traveling:
Your child should only accept rides from individuals you have approved. Abductors might use familiar faces to deceive children into going with them.
6. Communication is Key:
They should always ask permission to leave the yard or visit a neighbor and inform you if they change locations.
7. Avoid Hitchhiking:
If your child needs a ride, ensure you or someone you trust picks them up. This mitigates the risk of bad decisions or dangerous situations like riding with an intoxicated driver.
8. Curfew Awareness:
Encourage your child to be home before dark. If running late, they should avoid dark or deserted areas.
9. Avoid Unfamiliar Adults:
Teach them to steer clear of adults lingering around playgrounds, especially those who try to play with them or their friends.
