❗️❗️❗️ According to experimental studies, up to 90% of children go with a stranger to rescue someone. Yet, all of these children knew not to go with strangers. Their parents had discussed child safety rules with them dozens of times.
🆘 Nevertheless, children are at a loss when interacting with strangers because they are open and kind.
❓ How should a child behave with strangers?
❓ How can I teach children not to talk to strangers?
❓ What should I do if someone tries to take my child away?
❓ What should I do if a stranger is following my child?
❓ And how can I tell if a stranger is dangerous?
✔️ To protect my child from evil people, first create a mental image of what a criminal, kidnapper, or other dangerous person looks like.
Explain that kidnappers or other criminals look ordinary. They're not muscular men in black masks with a machine gun slung over their shoulders. They're nice and friendly people.
Criminals often act through accomplices who inspire the child's trust—grandmothers, children, and women.
✔️ Therefore, the basic safety rules are as follows: adults never ask strangers for help. If someone approaches a child asking for help getting a kitten out or letting them use a phone, the only thing they should do is quietly and quickly go to a public place.
✔️ Remember and mark all the safe places within the child's walking distance. These include schools, stores, clinics, and sports facilities.
✔️ Rehearse and practice with your child how to shout the correct phrases if strangers try to take them away.
✔️ Explain that cautious behavior is not cowardice.
