Child Protection Measures Which You Can Take


Even though it is painful to think about, you NEED a plan for your kids

It's every parent's nightmare -- your child is missing. In today's world, the panic feeling these words bring can shadow even the sunniest day. The best defense for any parent, is education and information.

1. Teach your children their personal information.
As soon as your child can talk, start teaching them to repeat their name, address and telephone number. This should also be one of the first pieces of information you work on with writing. Don¹t forget 911. Even very young children can learn to dial 911 and tell the operator who they are and where they are.

2. Teach your children what is "safe."

--If they are lost in a public place, tell them to go to the nearest business or uniformed security guard and ask for help. --Tell them to never leave the building until you have reunited --A safe place is a house that belongs to someone they know, or a commercial business where there are lots of people. Woods, abandoned buildings, empty lots, etc. are not necessarily safe places.
--Adults should not be asking children for help. It is okay to say "NO" to an adult.

3. Have a family password.

Establish a family password that everybody remembers. This can be something as simple as the name of a family pet or your child¹s favorite food. Tell your child to never get in a car with any person unless that person knows the password. Role play until your child is comfortable and understands this. Say, What would you say if someone pulls up to where you are playing and says, Quick, get in the car. Your mommy was hurt and I'll take you to her. You child should answer, I'd say, What¹s the password? If they don¹t know the password, I would run away to a safe place and yell NO very loudly!

4. Be able to identify your child!
