Unfortunately, the statistics of child abduction is growing inexorably. As a rule, finding the stranger who has infringed on your child is difficult enough. Moreover, if everything happened without eyewitnesses. Can parents somehow prevent this situation? How to protect your baby from strangers?
The main thing depends on the parents - knowledge of how to behave with strangers on the street. Here's what each parent should teach their child.
First of all, explain to your baby that you shouldn't talk to strangers. And even more so to give your name and home address. Or not to answer at all, or to say that the parents do not allow.
If a stranger calls to go with him, you should never agree. Whatever it is.
No matter how events unfold, you cannot get into someone else's car. When trying to force a child into a car, have him scream and kick loudly.
You can't take anything from strangers. Even if it is some kind of sweets.
A stranger can watch for a child in a deserted place. When you try to speak, you urgently need to go to the place of a large crowd of people.
When the baby suspects that a stranger has followed him, he should turn to one of the adults and explain the situation.
In the dark, it is better to move around the streets where there is sufficient lighting. If the path lies along a dark section of the road, it is worth finding yourself an escort - it can be friends or someone from the adults. A woman is desirable.
Parents should always be aware of your location and possible plans.
The child should not allow strangers to touch him.
In case of obvious danger, you can start screaming. If the child thought that the stranger had bad intentions in his direction, then he can always apologize later. Better to play it safe once again.
Protect your child from walking in deserted places, forests, construction sites, abandoned buildings. Keep in mind that groups of children are not attacked by villains.
As a responsible parent, you must understand that your child's safety depends on adhering to these rules. You must definitely convey them to the child. So it will be calmer for you.
