National Missing Children’s Day
Today, Friday May 25th is National Missing Children’s day. Every day children in this country goes missing. I know we all think of missing children as abducted by a stranger but parental abduction is the leading cause of missing children accounting for over 78% of all child abductions.
This Friday lets all strive to keep the children in our lives safe. Get a free missing child care kit, for the worst case scenario this information in a safe place may help police locate your child.
Teens and tweens are not altogether safe either, get a free internet safety kit.
Half of teens 13-18 have communicated online with someone they have never met.
One third have talked about meeting in person someone they only know online.
One in 10 have learned that someone communicating with them online was an adult pretending to be much younger.
Talk to your children about strangers, about how to dial 911 in an emergency and to trust their instincts about adults.
