Jan 17, 2011 | 11:05 AM

Good Strangers:
•  Paramedics, police officers, fire fighters, teachers at your school, clerk in a store, security guards are some examples.
 
Bad Strangers:

•  Someone, you do not know, who drives up to you while walking home offering you a ride.
•  Someone, you do not know, who approaches you in a park or playground to help you look for their pet or help them find something.

When approached by a BAD STRANGER walk or run away!
Scream loudly to attract other adults attention who might help you!
Go to the nearest neighbor or even local store to get help.
 
Always walk home with a friend or play in the playground with friends.
Pin a whistle to your coat so that in an emergency you can use it to call for help!
Keep walking if a bad stranger starts to talk to you.
If grabbed by a bad stranger kick, scream, bite do what ever to get away
