1) Never talk to strangers. Even if a person tells you they’re your aunt, uncle, cousin, or a friend of your parents, don’t talk to them if you’ve never met them before or don’t remember them.
     2) Have a special word only you and your parents know that can be used in emergencies. This should be a word or name a stranger wouldn’t be able to guess. If your parents want one of their friends or a relative you don’t know that well to give you a ride or come into your house while your parents are gone, they’ll give the person the special word to use. Only get in the car, open the door, or talk to people you don’t know if they know the special word.
     3) You should know the phone numbers for the police, ambulance, and fire department.
     4) Don’t take anything from strangers. They might offer you candy, toys, and other things and when you go to take it, they’ll grab your hand. Don’t go near a stranger’s car if they say they want you to see their pet or anything else. Don’t walk away with the person because they ask you to help them find something. If someone tells you they’re lost and asks you how to get some place, tell them to ask an adult and walk away from them.
     5) If a person tries to talk to you and tells you they’re a police officer, they should show you a badge before they even start talking to you. If they don’t show you a badge, ask to see one. Even if they have a badge, if they’re not wearing uniform, go to an adult you know and ask them to talk to the person. If the person is wearing a uniform and you’ve never seen them before, a real police officer will understand if you still don’t want to talk to them until you ask an adult you know. Don’t go with any police officer who tries to grab you. If your parents ask the police officer to get you, the officer should know your special word.
     6) Don't play in places where there are no other people around.
     7) Stay with your parents in public places, especially when there are a lot of other people around. If you’re allowed to go places to play without your parents, you should go with your friends and stay in a group. If you’re out somewhere with an adult and walk away and lose them, don't walk around trying to find them. If you’re in a building or fenced in area like a park, don’t leave the building or the area. Ask someone who works there and has a name tag or someone dressed like a police officer to find your parents for you. If you’re at an amusement park or other place where they have security people, look for someone wearing a bright colored vest with “SECURITY” printed on it. Never get into a car or go into a room with any of these people, just ask them to find your parents.
     8) If you think someone is following you, go to someone you know or into a store and tell someone about it. Don't try to hide. Find someone who can help you.
     9) If someone tries to grab you, kick, punch and yell: "NO! I don't know you! You aren't my Mom (or Dad)!"
     10) Never hitchhike or accept a ride from someone. Don't go near a stranger's car. Never get into a car with someone you don't know no matter what they say to you. Sometimes people use tricks like saying your mom is hurt or they lost their dog or kitten to try and get you to go with them. Don’t go with them.
     11) If someone does manage to get you in their car, don’t put on your seatbelt. Jump out when you see people and the car has to make a stop.
     12) Don't leave your home without asking your parents first. Make sure they know where you’re going and for how long. Always tell your parents where you’ll be and when you’ll be home.
     13) When your family is home and the doorbell rings, always find out who it is and ask your parents before you open the door.
     14) If you’re home alone, never open the door unless you can see it’s someone you know or they know the special word.
     15) Never tell someone you’re home alone if they call on the phone or knock on the door. If they call on the phone, tell them your parents are busy doing something in the house and they’ll call them back.
     16) Don’t be afraid to call the police if you think a stranger is trying to get you to go with them. Even if it’s a false alarm, the police will understand why you’re afraid.
