Police are urging all parents and caregivers to speak to their children about who a stranger is, and also the people they can trust. We don’t want our children to be paranoid, but alert and wary of people they don’t know. What does a stranger look like? They can be young or old, male or female.
Children need to understand that if someone they don’t know approaches them to offer a ride, ask for directions, takes an interest in what they doing, offers them something for free or want help looking for something, such as a lost animal they need to step back, say no thank you and run to a safe place (school, home, police station etc.) and immediately tell an adult they trust. (Ex. parent, schoolteacher)
