STRANGER DANGER!
A stranger is a person whom you have never met. You may have seen the
person before but don't know anything about him or her. Strangers don't
look like monsters, aliens, or the bad guys you see on TV. They look
like ordinary people.
What's the Big Deal?
Most strangers are nice,
but some are not. You can't tell if a stranger is nice or not by looking
at him or her. But you can tell if a situation is good or bad.
What you should do:
- Be aware of dangerous situations. If a stranger asks you for help or to keep a "special secret," it could be a dangerous situation. Say no and tell a trusted adult.
- Trust your instincts. If you feel scared or uncomfortable, get away from the situation. Make an excuse or just run away, and go to a safe place.
- Know what to do. Think No, Go, Yell, Tell. If you're in a dangerous situation, say no, run away, yell as loud as you can, and tell an adult.
- Ask your parents first. If a stranger invites you to go somewhere, offers you a gift, or just wants to talk, say you need to ask your parents for permission first. Then go do it.
- Stick with friends. It's always safer to play in a group
