Please be aware of
your child's activities. Do your best to know where they are at all
times. Make sure
your child knows to scream and run if approached in an alarming way by
anyone. Your child
should be taught to always tell you immediately if he/she is approached
by a stranger
who asks for help, offers candy/gifts, or frightens him/her in any way.
Your child should
know to make you aware of any time he/she feels uncomfortable with
anyone. Make sure your child always checks with you before going anywhere with anyone.
