Protecting Children From Predators

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.
