Even when using public restrooms, stay with pals.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Always ask your parent\u2019s permission before going anywhere \u2013 and call them frequently.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Walk only on routes to and from school and elsewhere that your parent has scouted out with you and has identified safe areas along the way. Also, avoid walking across parking lots or taking other shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 There are no headphones or handheld games to distract you from what\u2019s going on around you.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 If someone approaches you, do not respond to him except to say, \u201cGo ask an adult.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Never approach somebody in a car or truck. Simply sprint in the opposite direction \u2013 toward other people.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Bad people will use cute animals and candy to get close to you.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Always seek permission from your parents before taking money or a gift.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 If you notice someone doing something wrong, turn around.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Do not have your name exposed to outsiders on anything.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 If you\u2019re robbed by another kid, give up your valuables and never fight back.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Never accept money for a school or club project unless you are accompanied by your parent.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Don\u2019t believe anyone who attempts to persuade you to breach your parents\u2019 rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Inform your parent of any places or persons who make you feel unsafe.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Create a code word for emergencies. If you call your parent while you\u2019re with someone who scares you, you can use the code phrase to let them know you need help.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 If you believe you are being followed, start blowing your whistle (or pulling the pin on your noisemaker) while sprinting to a store or a residence where you know someone is present (stranger safety). Run to anywhere there are people who can aid you \u2013 and shout about it. (Instead of hanging a whistle around his or her neck on a strangling cord, use a beaded-metal chain that breaks too quickly for strangling. Wear a whistle on a wrist bracelet instead.)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Trust your instincts. If you are afraid, simply flee to a safe location. \u201cNO!\u201d yell, then RUN and TELL an adult.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 If someone grabs you, thrash, fight, bite, and scream \u201cHelp! Police!\u201d repeatedly, then shed the snatched jacket or backpack, drop anything you\u2019re carrying, rush to an area with people, and phone the police. RUN! TELL! YELL! A kidnapper may flee alone if he is terrified of being seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What if he\u2019s armed? Ignore it and flee! Weapons are nearly never used to threaten or damage a child at the site of a kidnapping. A kidnapper does not want to draw attention to himself. Besides, if he\u2019s willing to hurt a child there, he\u2019s willing to harm a child even more in a remote location.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Pull the pin on their particular noisemaker alarm if you\u2019re being pursued.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Scream while hugging a tree, pole, or any substantial object, or even a bicycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 While yelling, run in circles around an item, such as a parked automobile.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Get beneath a car (belly up) and grab the underbelly to prevent him from dragging them out. If he crawls under there after them, flee out the other side, screaming.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Sound the fire alarm.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 If you are apprehended, get away immediately! \u201cHelp! Police!\u201d yell. Drop on the ground, kick, bite, scream, and then flee while screaming!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d1fa40 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4d1fa40\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ESTABLISH YOUR LIMITS<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be75faa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be75faa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Don\u2019t turn your back on someone you don\u2019t trust; instead, keep an eye on him.
