Tips for Children

• Children should be made aware of the dangers of accepting rides from or talking to strangers.
• Children should be encouraged to talk with their parents if they ever have a problem, not only with a stranger, but also with a friend or relative.
• Children should know a safe, well-traveled route to take to and from school. Isolated areas should be avoided.

Teenage Babysitters

• Teenage babysitters should not accept jobs with people they do not know, or who have not been referred by people they know.
• Sitters should call the police immediately if anything suspicious happens at the house. They should never open the door for strangers.
• The sitter's parents should be called at the end of the evening to inform them that the sitter will be home shortly.
