Personal Safety Tips
- Talk to your family, especially children and vulnerable adults, about sexual violence.
- Assure your children that they can talk with you about questions they have.
- Open conversations about good touch verses bad touch, and what to do if a stranger approaches them or if someone they know acts inappropriately towards them.
- Remind children of basic safety rules: Never talk to stranger; Don't accept rides from someone you don't know; Watch out for commons lures/tricks (adult asking for directions, requesting help to look for a lost pet, offering money, candy or toys).
- Teach children to use the buddy-system.
- Listen to your instincts. Tell children to listen to theirs.
- Keep windows and doors locked, even when you are home.
