Neighborhood Safety

Personal and neighborhood safety are topics parents should freely and openly discuss with their children. Use a calm, reassuring tone and avoid discussing frightening details of what might happen. More importantly, be alert, listen to your children, know their daily activities and habits, and teach them to be assertive and self-confident.

Personal Safety

Each year, more than 58,000 children in the United States are abducted by non-family members. More than 200,000 children are abducted by family members who are seeking to interfere with a parent's custodial rights. In the most dangerous type of abduction - stranger kidnapping - fully 40 percent of children are killed. In an effort to protect children against these assaults, the US Department of Education just released a new guidebook entitled Personal Safety for Children: A Guide for Parents.
