"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" \ ay aad nd a Ty, Tae Thr Fl _-- . es PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, August 20, 1991 - 13 Recent attempted child abductions underlines vulnerability of children By Gillian Barfoot Recent attempted child ab- ductions in the gog area un- derline the vulnerability of all children. Most children are taught some measure of streetproofing in school, but most of the ad- vice isn't new, says Constable Nancy Dillon of the Durham Regional Police. Common sense advice, such as 'Don't take anything from a stranger', and 'Don't get in a stranger's car' are still impor- tant cautions for kids of all ages. Advice for parents, such as 'Know where your children are' and 'Know when they're ex- pected back', is also essential. But warning your child about strangers only has limit- ed usefulness, she points out. Some children become so paranoid that they won't ask for help in a crowded mall, she explains, while others think they can identify strangers be- cause they always wear black and carry a gun. "The reality is that most peo- Owner appeals for public help to find pet dog The owner of a dog, which was last seen on August 14, is appealing to the residents of Port Perry for their help in lo- catingit. +. The dog is a white and gold short haired female, either a hound/lab cross, or a terrier/lab cross. Its nose is white, and it has four white socks. The dog is very timid. It answers to the name of "Jessie." The dog was last seen in the vicinity of Highways 12 and 7A. If anyone has seen this dog they are requested to phone the Uxbridge/Scugog Animal Con- trol Centre at 985-9547. ple are good strangers," says Linda Lebourdais, the execu- tive director of Stay Alert, Stay Safe, which provides a Canada- wide streetproofing and educa- tion program for children. However, statistics point out that the people who dren't strangers, such as that nice man who lives at the end of the street, are the ones to watch out for. "Unfortunately," she says, "most crimes of abduction and sexual abuse are usually com- mited by someone you know." Stay Alert, Stay Safe was founded in 1987 by the mothers of an 11-year-old girl who was abducted and murdered. The Canadian Tire Corporation provides its primary funding and its streetproofing program is endorsed by the Canadian fissociation of the Chiefs of Po- ice. The organization has distrib- uted a comic book brochure and a video to schools and libraries, and often sends its two rabbit mascots, Bert and Gert, to the schools when the police visit. Bert and Gert wear radar watches and tell children to 'Keep your radar up', explains Ms. Lebourdais. "This reminds the children to be attuned to what's going on around them." It's also important for par- ents to teach their children a good self-image, she says, be- cause "children with a strong sense of self-esteem are less vulnerable." She suggests parents walk their child to school the first day to show them the best route, point out the homes of block parents, and talk about the places they should avoid. Parents should also keep up- to-date photos of their chil- dren, along with information such as their height and weight, she says. The sense of awareness is the central theme in safety ad- Now Available only at Port Perry's own Meating Place NEW YORK DELI STYLE PIZZA Thurs. - Sat. 4pm - 10pm Sun. - Wed. 4pm - 8pm Hours: EAT IN / TAKE OUT "Where the Quality comes First and the Freshness comes Naturally" TRY NEW YORK DELI STYLE PIZZA Once you do you'll never eat regular pizza again!

Constable Dillon says most people have become more aware of the danger of things like walking alone after dark because there have been so many recent accounts in the media. But the advice goes for adults, too, she says. "It's no different if the per- son is five or 95. Know when they leave, where they are go- ing and when they will return. And let someone know the same information if you are go- ing out. "People just don't realize the dangers that are out there."
