Protecting Children From Predators

Marc Klaas (President & Founder, KlaasKids Foundation) gives expert video advice on: How can I teach my child to avoid lures?; What should I teach my child about predator abductions? and more...

What should I teach my child to do in case he is ever lost, alone or in danger?

That again brings us back to the idea of stranger danger, because this is exactly where a stranger can help a child in a difficult situation. If you are in the mall you should tell your children to go to one of the security officers, or alternatively go into one of the stores and those people will direct them back to their parents. If they're in an amusement park, they can do the same thing. They can go to one of the concessions at the amusement park and they will be directed back to their caregiver. So, that is it that they should do in this situation. Well, number one is keep their head. Number two, ask somebody in their official capacity for assistance And number three, if they have a cell phone of their own, the easiest thing to do would be to call whoever it is you are trying to reunite with and that could be a quicker and more effective method.

What safety tips can I teach my child before he goes to an amusement park?

If you take a child to an amusement park, probably one of the first things you should do there is determine a safe location, and so that if the child does become separated you will have a point where you can meet up very quickly. The one stipulation I would put on all of this would be carnivals. Those are not good environments for children to be left behind in. I mean, a carnival is a pretty shady location to begin with, and I think parents should double their efforts to make sure their kids stay with them in those kinds of "carny" enviroments.

    Excellent safety tips! This is very helpful advice to all parents to keep their children away from sexual predators. However, we should not scare them; we have to let them know that the world is still a safe place to play and have fun. This is just to educate them on what to do when they need help while they are away from our protection. If they are old enough give them a cell phone that has a GPS for you to know wherever they are. I have a very good cell phone application for my children's protection. The service is very useful and reliable for any kind of emergency. When your child is in need of help by just pressing the panic button they can ask immediate help from you, other family members and friends and to 911 during dangerous circumstances. Check their site to know more about the service http://safekidzone.com/

    This is very simple,.. Bring back the form of public execution they must learn that if this crime is committed that it is not tolerated period. it sickens me to see people just sitting on death row,eating tax payers dollars. and them having some,committed crimes like multiple rap and murder if children breathing there same air i breath. THEY DO NOT DESERVE SUCH A PRIVILEGE OR RIGHT. The highly influential life of our children is more valuable than any commodity that can be bought and sold.AS WORLD CITIZENS NOT JUST AMERICANS. we cannot sit buy and blink and blind eye to the destruction and havoc it cost the victims. Public execution would bring about the idea that we will not tolerate and certainly will not stand by and even let you be able to see the light of day if you touch a child in this world,You would be brought to justice immediately and with great expedience you will be punished for your crimes.To me my friends,....As a people, we need to protect our children. And that should be the first thing on our agenda.
