Safe Strangers: Are people you can go to in case of an emergency like a policeman, a teacher, a block parent or a store employee

Alone: If you are home alone, always tell someone who calls or comes to the door that your parents are too busy to come to the door or the phone.

Find someone to tell: If you are approached by someone you don't know or if you are followed or bothered by anyone you don't know, find someone to tell. Look for a safe stranger.

Emergencies: If an emergency arises and someone other than who you are expecting comes to pick you up, even if you know them, make them give you your secret password or don't go with them.

Touching: No one ever has the right to touch you anywhere your bathing suit would cover. If someone tried to do this tell them no and get away from them right away, then tell your parents or a safe stranger.

Yell: If someone follows you or tries to get you to do something you don't think is right, yell as loud as you can and run to a busy street, store or nearby home.

Friends: Always have a friend with you when you go out so that you don't have to go anywhere alone.

Identification: Always have your name, address and phone number with you when you are away from home.

Run: If someone follows you or tries to make you go with them somewhere, run home if it is close enough or run to the nearest public place where there are lots of people around.

Secrets: If anyone asks you to keep a secret from your parents you should tell your parents as soon as you can. If anyone tells you to keep a secret about anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, you should tell a teacher or a police officer if you don't think you can tell your parents.

Telephone: Always make sure you have enough money with you to be able to use a public phone in case of an emergency. If you carry a Cellular Phone, make sure the battery is charged. Make sure you always have your parents work phone numbers with you and don't forget that you can call 911 if you need help fast.
