Two Things Parents Should Teach Their Kids

Here are two things you should teach your kids to avoid stranger abductions:

If your child is on the street and a stranger in a car approaches, tell him to run the opposite direction of what the car is traveling. It takes time to turn around. Have your child scream, “Fire!” over and over as he is running away.

If anyone tries to touch or pick up your child, teach him to yell “I DON’T KNOW HIM!” Many people see a crying child being led or carried by another person and think it’s a family situation.
