Child
Safety Advice from the Experts
My
Family CD and The Safety
Coalition provide expert
advice and resources to
families, schools and law
enforcement. Here are some
questions and tips for keeping
your family safe.
1.
Do you teach children their
address and phone number?
Your children should know
their phone number, with
area code and their full
address in case they get
separated from you.
2.
What should a child do if
they’re lost in a
store? Your child should
find another Mommy but never
leave the store or location.
3.
What should a child do if
a stranger asks for help?
RUN; your child should find
you or a trusted adult.
Grown-ups never need real
help from children
4.
Is it ever OK for a child
to yell or scream? YES,
children should be taught
the right times to scream
and yell.
5.
Do you have an easily accessible
photo of your child? YES,
you should always have a
recent photo on hand, digital
format if possible.
6.
Does your child know what
number to call in an emergency?
911, to call the police
in an emergency.
7.
Does your child have a safe
password that only you know?
YES, you should have a word
that only you and your children
know. You will only share
this with someone in an
emergency so your children
will know it came from you.
8.
Do you have all of your
emergency info on hand?
YES, you should always have
your vital information on
hand to aid in quick response
by authorities
SAFETY
TIPS:
Get to know all of your
child's friends, as well
as their parents. Always
carry a list of their names,
phone numbers and addresses
with you.
Keep
an updated photo of your
child with you at all times.
Know
where your children are
at all times. Never leave
them unattended in a public
place.
Small
children should never be
allowed to use a public
restroom by themselves.
Get
to know your neighbors and
explore the neighborhood
with your child.
Obtain
background screening information
on anyone who will have
unsupervised access to or
custody of your child.
Be
alert to anyone paying an
unusual amount of attention
to your child or giving
them inappropriate or expensive
gifts.
Monitor
your child's Internet activities.
Keep the computer in a common
area of the home so that
it is out in the open, rather
than in their bedroom.
Provide
your child a "safe
haven" by creating
an atmosphere of trust and
support in the home.
Make
sure he or she knows they
can always count on you!
