Romanian Center for Missing & Sexually Exploited Children

We ought to teach the children that safety means:

• To know their name, address, phone number, the name of their parents and that they should not share this information with strangers;
• Always to tell their parents where and with whom they are going out;
• To tell someone they trust if they feel scared or threatened;
• To ask for permission of the person who takes care of them before getting into a car, even if with a familiar person
• To ask for permission of parents or teacher if they want to go somewhere before classes;
• Not to open the door if they are home alone and if they do not wait for anyone to come;
• To accept a present or sweets only with the permission of their parents;
• To appeal to a policeman, a shop assistant or an adult accompanied by another child, in case they get lost and they need help;
• To know they must say NO if they feel threatened;
• To know that there is always someone who can help them;
