Police Notebook: Summer Safety Hints By the time this article is published, school will be "out" or just about over for another year. During the school day you are assured that your children are safe and sound in the excellent care of the school teacher. But, the summer holiday changes things as far as safety is concerned. Now, instead of being closely supervised at school our children are off playing with their friends. Parents should, in an effort to keep their children safe and out of trouble when away from their custody, have some, basic and specific rules for them to follow. A most important rule is that they be required to tell you exactly where they are playing. Just the fact that Call 623-5577 for Flowers your child has to do this could avert a tragedy or prevent prevent them,from getting into -troublOiVÂ "place your child may think is a good place to play, to a parent's eye may be filled with possible dangers. dangers.

Don't make a habit of letting letting your child go places alone. Children playing or travelling alone are a much easier mark for abduction. Even in the case of a simple accident, unless there is someone with them to assist or go for help, a tragedy could result. Children playing playing in groups are generally safe. If your child is going to play alone, insist he or she plays in the immediate vicinity of your home. Try to spend as much time as possible with your children. children. Take part in some of the things they like to do. The summer break is a chance to get to know your child better and to observe him or her at play.

There is no better way to observe the dangers that your child faces than to get out with them to the places they play and meet friends. When you are out with them, note the way your child rides his or her bicycle or deals with crossing and walking along roads. They are far more likely to get seriously hurt or killed by disobeying simple simple traffic rules than in other more sinister circumstances. circumstances. When you observe observe bad traffic sense, comment on it at the time, then instruct them in the proper and safe way to handle handle the situation. Let's do all we can to make sure our children make it back to school safe and sound. Have a great summer. See you in September. September. We've got for Father's it all Day.
