These in-, cidents have created concerni amengst al parents who begin questioning the safety of their own children in our community. Parents can protect their children from abductions by teaching them what te do if suddenly confronted with a friendly or gift-giving stranger, neîghbour or other adult. First, while most of the people that children.meet are g ood people, children should also be informed that some strangers , may be harmful. Children k now what we mean by harmnful - they know it means hurting, kidnapping, assaulting and even killing. Discussion must be the frt stepl. Next, children should bec instructed how te identify a potentially harmful stranger. The tranger will frequent, area.s used by children in- cluding playgrounds, school yardsý, movie theatres, pet shops and neighbourhood stores. If childrcn see a stranger who continues tio watch them play, who off'ers themi candy of teys (incIilding cabbage-patch doils), or pets,, they% should be instructed te report the stranger te anl aduilt thcy know and trust. As parents wc cani aveid placing our children at risk. Don't send them te amoc without a person whe willvjj care ftor tcdon'i scnd them eavaitiseia dusýk or after dark "nIlci own1, and teatltICm ge plc den't i21\ v a% y can dy,ýtoys or pets without the parent' s consent. Many families have developed "Passwords" that protect their children from advances by adults who intice chîldren by saying f bey were sent by the parent. These passwords satisfy the child that he may go with an adult that knows the word, that he is not te go with anyone who does not. It 4s simple, but cf- fective. If childrcn are being followed, instruct !them to run te a nearby home. Don't' tel them te run te someone's home they know - tell them te run te any home for protec- tion. Especially alert them bo homes showing the block- parent symbol-in thew~indow-. Block-parent programs are an effective way for children te recognize safe places of refuge when confronted by strangers, are bullied by other children, or become sick or hurt. Each block-parent family is investigated by the police prior te receiving ap- proval as a block-parent. Your children should be taught a block-parent is a triend and a neighbour who can be trusted. Communuities interested in starting a block- parent program should con- tact either-rWe OÔntario Pro- vinial Police or their local municipal police force. The si tuatio n îhat n est cni dangers childrcn is lcaving them alone. or allowing them te beetut of the home alone., If' t is ncsayte leave the child at hlomle alone, teachi them thIllelollow\ing Lrules: 1I. Do not allow anyonle, undcr any :ircumstançcs, te entcr the homc urilcss thcy are well known by the child. This includes repair service people, telephone repair, canlvassers,, and motorists claîming to have car trouble or that there is an accident. 2. Have the children lock the door whien the parent leaves. Teach the children neyer to tell anyone on the telephene that thiey are home alone. If the caller has the phone number, they can oh- tain the address from the telephone book. 3. Leave the child, the phonenhumber where you can be contacted, and the home numuber of a fr icnd, neighbour or relative who can get to the'home quickly in an emergency. Always leave the phone number of the local police force available to the child. 4. Neyer post a child's name ýr phone number for babysitting. or other jobs on Public announcement boards in stores, or other public places. This information gives a petential assaulter a chance to contacryour child and a reason to lure the child from the home. 5- Do not Put your child's name visibly on his or ber clothin .' The c!iild may assume the stranger is a friend simlybecause he calîs the child by name. Many parents have dif- ficulty in di-scussing sexual molestation of children. We recomrmend that children be told that no one should touch any part of their body con- vered by a bathing suit. The Ontario provincial police shares cencern tor the safety of x'our children and are hopeful these recommen- dations provide useful infor- mation for parents on pro- tection from child molesters. Il children repor t incidents' of suspicious strangers or other adults makingadvances toward them, consider their complaint as legitimate.
