What's with the caps? :ugh: Let's just have a civil debate please? :ty:

Have you seen the DVD? It's easy for children to understand because it catch children's attention better than parents instructions, it helps children to be able to understand the difference between strangers and people that children can trust.

Huh ? These caps are for to show you where it means all the same thing. I am perfectly debatin' in a civil way. Alright ?

Well, that's your opinion to think this way. We don't think the same thing what we view on this both subjects ( strangers and families ). I believe that it's STILL a parent's responsible to teach kids.

They ARE, by teaching them not to talk to strangers and "Don't talk to strangers" is just about the worst possible advice to give a child < I learned that in parent class. because children who get lost can not ask a stranger for help...
 
Well, I think a parent should come up with somethin' if, that " Don't talk to strangers " is the worse advice to give a child.

Maybe, a child should have a device like a cell phone or something to call for help ? Would that be a better option rather than talking to a stranger ? I am sure there's other options a parent could think of to protect their children.

I've seen many teens are using their cell phones...if, anything should happen, they could call for help immediately. But, as for small children - they should find a way to help small children to get some help just like teens could.
 
I think it is because most parents are more worried about strangers approaching their children at the stores/malls, movie theaters and etc. than worry about their children being lost. Since the parent classes I've been teaching my children which strangers to go when they do get lost. but now both of my children owns cellphones- not my youngest one yet, I do keep my youngest son closer to me.

btw good advices Maria.

Sorry Liebling:))) forgive me for going off-topic here.

Yea, Maria... Give a 4 years a cellular phone would be a bright idea. :lol: Think about it, the majority of people around us all out in public are strangers right? How can a child understands the differences between trustworthy and untrustworthy? It's hard to determinate who's trustworthy and who is not. That's why I said it isn't that simple, there's no simple way to get through a child. We don't want to paranoid them either.
 
And, make sure a device has a GPS in it. The GPS can follow where a child is going if, a child carry a device with him/her. It can be a bracelet or necklace... not just cell phone. I know a cell phone is not a proper for a 4 years old or younger, but a bracelet will do or something.

For example: In some hospitals, they do have a bracelet with alarm in it or somethin' around newborn babies' ankles to prevent kidnappin' from the nursery room and such. This will give you some ideas a parent could think of.

Sara : I do apologize for goin' off-topic but this information is important to help some parents to consider of how to protect their children from sex offenders. :hug:
 
Yeah but the child's safety alarm device only works up to 150 feet away and ID bracelet is for the child's identification information. I guess it's better than nothing at all.

Opps, I thought this was Liebling:)))'s thread, my mistake.
 
It's disgusted! My husband offered me to go on internet to look for Sex Offenders Register information in our state. I checked the map where I live. Sex Offender Register are everywhere around the states. My old neighbor used to live same my apartment. He is a sex offender and charge of child molested in past. I was happy that he moved out.

I was molesting by my older cousin long times ago when I was 5. I will never see him again! Don't be sorry for me or offend me.

The DVD is just a tool to help parents teach children what they need to know about safety. My neice and nephew were tought to stay away from strangers, and we didn't need a video to teach them. Don't get me wrong. I think anything that helps keep a child safe is a worthwhile thing, but it's not always needed. We were able to get our point across with my niece and nephew with simple repetition. We simply instructed them and asked them questions.

Things like.."What would you do if someone came up to you and tried to talk to you?" They're response... "Run home and tell a grown up." "What do you do if someone offers you a ride home?" "Run away and tell a grown up."

"What would you do" type questions is very effective with my niece and nephew. We started this when they were about 3yrs old and 4 yrs old. My nephew turned 8 two weeks ago and my niece will be 7 in Sept. :)

I see where you're going with this, but I don't think a cell phone is a good idea. It may be good for a 12 yrs, but I don't think a young child can be responsible enough to carry a cell phone with them, and I also am not sure that a young child can work a cell phone. I know I can't! :lol:

But, I see where you're going with this. Sometimes, just telling a child "Don't talk to strangers" isn't enough. It usually isn't. You need repetition. It also may be a good idea to try another approach. I get you, Maria. You're right. Not every approach is right for a specific child.

That's true, Angel, but did you know that children are more likely to be abused by someone they know than someone they don't know?
 
The best is alert at email by Sheriff Department sent to victim's parents to let them know about Sex Offender moved in and out. The Sheriff always send me an email with "Notifications" to tell me who is the sex offender moved in close to my area. If I have a kids. I will protect my children away from strangers.

That's an exactly what I thought the same.


And answer one of your posts over ID bracelet.

Yes, I think your suggestion about child's identification information is a good idea.
