Tips to keep kids safe!

• Have photos taken of your children every 6 months, and have your children fingerprinted. Many local police departments sponsor fingerprinting programs--see if it is available in your town.
   
• Keep your children's medical and dental records up to date.
   
• Make sure younger children know their name, address, phone number and who to call in case of emergency.
   
• Discuss with your children what they should do if they get lost in a public location. Most stores and public places have procedures in place for handling lost children.
   
• If your children are using the computer, make internet safety a priority. Be aware of their online activities and "buddies" and remind them never to give out personal information. Avoid posting identifying information and photos of your children online.
   
• Point out homes in your neighborhood and locations around town where your children should go if they need help.
   
• Never leave children alone in a car or a stroller, even for a minute.
   
• Be sure your children know in whose car they may ride, and those they may not. Teach them to move away from any car that pulls up beside them and is driven by a stranger.
   
• If your children are old enough to stay home alone, make sure they keep the door locked and never tell anyone who knocks or calls that they are alone.
   
• Choose caregivers carefully and check their references. If a child care provider will be picking up a child from school, discuss it with both the child and the school beforehand.
   
• Avoid dressing a child in clothing with his or her name on it. Children tend to trust adults who know their name.
