TIPS TO KEEP YOUR FAMILY TOGETHER:

1. Talk to your children NOW about safety
2. Review the dangers of strangers with them so they know who not to talk to or follow
3. Before going to crowded places, have a plan of action. Explain to your child exactly what to do in the event they get lost. Identify a central meeting place. Give them specifics on who they should contact if they’re lost. (another mom, employee of location, police officer, etc.)
4. ID them with your phone number using a Child Safe Tee!
5. Bring your Child Safe Tee Emergency ID Cards with you before you leave the house. These cards can be givenn to authorities and other personnel in the event they get lost.
6. Immediately notify facility personnel and authorities if your child is lost. Provide them with child’s age, name, hair color, height, weight, specific clothing they are wearing and any other distinguishing features.

What Should You Do If You See A Child Who Appears Lost?

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) encourages people to be alert and report suspicious situations regarding missing and exploited children.

 

NCMEC teaches children to seek out low risk adults if they become separated from their parent or guardian and need assistance. These individuals are identified as a uniformed law-enforcement or security officer, a store salesperson wearing a nametag, an information booth employee wearing a nametag, or a mother with children. But what if you’re a regular citizen? Use the tips noted below if you see a child who appears lost. (http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PageServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US&PageId=3536)

 

• Don’t be afraid to get involved.
• Comfort the child but use restraint in physically touching the child.
• If the child is able to speak, ask if they’re lost or where their mother/father is.
• Refrain from requesting too much personal information, since children are taught not to give out this information to people they don’t know.
• If you have a cellular phone, contact authorities and report the incident.
• Try to find someone nearby in a position of authority who can assist.
• Do not take the child far from the immediate location.
• Do not put the child in your car and drive off seeking help.
• Ask passers-by to assist.
• Wait with the child until help arrives.
