2009 Summer Safety Tips
1. Always CHECK FIRST with your parents, guardians, or the trusted adult in charge before you go anywhere or do anything. CHECK IN regularly with your parents, guardians, or a trusted adult when you’re not with them.
2. Never accept treats or gifts from anyone without your parents’ or guardians’ permission.
3. Stay SAFER when you’re home alone by keeping the door locked; not opening the door for or talking to anyone who stops by unless the person is a trusted family friend or relative, you feel comfortable being alone with that person, and the visit has been pre-approved by your parents or guardians; and never telling anyone who calls that you’re home by yourself. Have a neighbor or trusted adult you can call if you feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused or there’s an emergency.
4. Never go into a public rest room by yourself.
5. Never go alone to malls, movies, or parks and always CHECK FIRST with your parents or guardians to make sure it’s okay.
6. Don’t panic if you feel lost. Safe people who can help you include other mothers with children, a uniformed law-enforcement or security officer, person with a name tag who is working at the store.
7. Be careful when you play. Don’t play near busy streets or deserted areas, and never take shortcuts unless you have your parents’ or guardians’ permission.
8. Don’t wear clothes or carry items with your name on the outside, and don’t be confused just because a person you don’t know calls out your name.
9. Don’t get into a vehicle or go near a vehicle with anyone in it unless you are with your parents, guardians, or a trusted adult. Never take a ride from anyone without CHECKING FIRST with your parents or guardians.
10. Be careful playing or riding your bicycle as it gets dark. Sometimes it is difficult for people driving to see you. Wear reflectors and protective clothing if your parents or guardians say you can play outside after dark.
11. Don’t be afraid to say NO and GET AWAY from any situation that makes you feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused. TRUST YOUR FEELINGS, and be sure to TELL a trusted adult what happened.
12. Always TAKE A FRIEND with you when playing or going anywhere. It’s safer and more fun.
