You didn't know you had radar? Well you do! Some people call it instinct, and it's an important weapon because it tells you when danger could be around.
The Alert Twins have radar on our watches. They beep and flash when danger's close. Your radar is tucked away safely inside your tummy and your head, but it's just as strong as ours.
You know it's working when you get a funny feeling deep inside that seems to say: "I don't like this. Something feels wrong." And when you get that feeling, it's really important to listen to it and get away fast.
It's never silly to feel a bit scared. Always trust your instincts. It's the best way we know to spot danger before danger can hurt you. So turn up your radar and keep it turned up. Stay Alert and Stay Safe!
Next important rule ... if something goes wrong, even just a tiny bit
wong, it's not your fault and you don't have to face things all alone. TALK IT
OVER! Talk to a parent or teacher, or someone else you feel you
trust.
You must tell someone if something bad happens.
So remember, no secrets, no matter what anyone says!
AVOID hanging out around lonely
parks, woods, parking lots or even school yards late after
school.
Work out the best route to school or
other places you go to often, check it with a parent and then stick with this
route. Say NO if a grown-up invites you alone
into their home or car, unless your parent knows where you are and has said it's
ok. If someone knocks at the door when you're
home alone, ignore the knock. If you're scared, call the emergency number ( 911
). Never open the door! always pretend you've got grown-up company when you're home
alone. If the phone rings for your parent, Never
say they're out. Discuss and write down
your own house rules with a parent.
