Child Abduction

Never leave a child unattended in a public place or mall, even playgrounds and mall amusement parks attract offenders. Make sure that your child knows your home address and how to dial 911 for help. Teach your child how to respond to potentially harmful situations. Help your child to identify danger and scream out for help if needed.

Accidents

You can help children avoid accidents by demonstrating or explaining dangerous items and places. Put away dangerous tools and restrict access to potentially harmful environments such as electrical rooms and storage areas. Secure cleaning agents, medicines and tools that can cause harm.
