Child Abduction
The parents of abducted children never thought it could happen to them. Protect your family so it never happens to someone you love. Make sure your children know the 8 rules of safety.
8 Rules of Safety
(Compiled by the FBI, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, and the National Venter for Missing and Exploited Children)
1. I always check first with my parents or the person in charge before I go anywhere or get into a car, even with someone I know.
2. I always check first with my parents or a trusted adult before I accept anything from anyone, even from someone I know.
3. I always take a friend with me when I go places or play outside.
4. I know my name, address, telephone number and my parents' names.
5. I say no if someone tries to touch me or treat me in a way that makes me feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused.
6. I know that I can tell my parents or a trusted adult if I feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused.
7. It's ok to say no, and I know that there will always be someone who can help me.
8. I am strong, smart, and have the right to be safe.
Mentoring
You don’t have to be the best to be a mentor- you just need to care. By spending a little time with a child you can make a big difference in their life. Kids with a mentor are less likely to try drugs or alcohol or skip school.
