This is good info for people who's children aren't grown up to enough to be off playing at the park or with friends on their own yet, or those who have yet to become parents but are planning on it.
This is something my mom and dad did for me growing up. It was so if someone was to come for me, because my parents couldn't, then they would know the secret code word that my parents would tell them. It was a hard one. One only my Mom, Dad and Brother knew. Never needed it.
But how many children get abducted just because their abductor claimed that their mommy and daddy sent them to get the child for them? Sadly, lots. Children are innocent and trusting. Too trusting.
Teach you child a code word. If a person askes them to come with them, but doesn't know the code, tell them to run like hell to the nearest group of people or business screaming "Fire, Fire". Tell them that when they are asked where the fire is, teach them to tell the people to look at the attempted abductor, (will be trying to flee by now) so the adults can try to get a good look at the criminal, and to tell them that person tried to take them and to call the police.
Reherse it with them at a young age.
Okay, so what are some tips and things you have used to insure your children are less likely to be abducted? Please share for the sake of others.
