Tell your parents or whoever is taking
care of you before you go someplace, even if its just the Dairy Queen across
the street. Its pretty scary for parents to not know where you are and
its even scarier if someone takes you someplace and doesn't want to let
you go home. When you go out to play take a friend or a grownup that your
parents trust with you. Did I hear someone say, "None of the parents I
know will let their kids play outside alone?" Its cool to play with friends your age
and its cool to make friends your age in the park. Kidnappers like to catch
children when they are playing alone. Lots of times they are teens or some guy around the neighborhood. And they don't like German Shepherds
or Dobermans with three inch long teeth either. So tell your parents
or whoever is taking care of you before you go someplace.
NEXT!! STRANGER DANGER!!!
Everyone knows about not going with strangers. OB-VEE-US!!! Don't go with
anyone at all unless you tell your mom and dad. That way if they do kidnap
you, your parents can find you, the cops can find you and the kidnapper
can get tossed in jail where he or she belongs.
There is a story around that STRANGERS
trick little children with candy, sweets and stuffed bears. You know, like
they put drugs or poison in the candy and the kid eats it and falls asleep
and gets kidnapped. Or when they reach out to take the candy the kidnappers
hand goes swoosh like in a Freddy Kruger movie and he grabs the kid. Guess
what? It might be true !!!!! Watch out for weirdoes who try and give
you candy, especially if they are wearing a trench coat. Just joking, because
kidnappers could be wearing anything like a pair of Hawaiian swimming trunks
and a tee-shirt with Batwoman on it. They might be wearing a pair of Calvin
Klein jeans and a Bond Brothers shirt and Gucci Shoes. They might even
be wearing a dress. So don't take no candy from anyone without telling
mom and dad.
But what about the person that you
know from the park or wherever?? Don't go with them either. Most of the
time the people that kidnap little kids is maybe the teenager down the
block, or some other neighbor or person that looks just like everyone else.
Like maybe they have this good mask on but underneath the mask they look
like a monster. Right? So don't go with anyone without telling mom and
dad.
Did you know that kids get LOST
sometimes and everyone thinks they got kidnapped??? Especially in places
like Ohio where there are woods everywhere and its flat as a pancake. There
is something you can do when you get lost. Stay exactly where you are.
Make a nice warm place to sit, use some strings to hang up things where
people can see them, sing some loud songs like Michael Row the Boat Ashore,
Old MacDonalds, or all the lyrics you remember from The Spice Sisters.
Make a line of rocks while you're singing. Then you'll be saved in no time.
But what if the person that finds you is a stranger??? Climb a tree,
silly.
The worse thing you can do is get
in a car with a stranger or anyone else. That is really dumb. DUMB DUMB
DUMB, like kidnappers take the door and window handles off so you can't
get out. Don't even go near a car if it stops and someone you don't
know very well is INSIDE of it. If they want directions tell them from
a distance. If they get out of the car, run to another stranger or just
plain run towards where people might be and make a lots of noise. If they
get near you and try to grab you, kick them where the sun never shines,
bite their hand, gouge their eyes out. If they do get you in a car keep
kicking them, pound on the windows, don't let them drive. They might hit
you, but you might get away before they really hurt you. So don't even
go near a car if it stops and someone you don't know very well is INSIDE
of it.
Did I scare you? Good. Now go watch
some ghost movies on Nickleodeon and don't worry about it because 1)
It isn't gonna happen, and 2) If it does happen you know what to do.
