Stay calm and think through the situation you're facing. If you end up in real danger, you can still get help and save yourself.

If someone grabs you, scream loudly and keep screaming. Scream out "Help! I don't know you!" It isn't babyish to scream. It's very smart indeed.

Spin round and round fast to stop someone from grabbing you.

Scream, bite, kick, get down on the ground and squirm like a worm! This works well because it's hard for someone to pick you up! Try to learn this line and practice squirming like a worm!

If you can, run away fast and keep screaming. Head for crowds, stores, a Block Parent's house or a house with children's toys and bikes outside.

If you're trapped in a car, try to leap out when the car stops at traffic lights.

If the car door is locked, open the window and scream loudly.

Phone the emergency number for the police. They will find you.

Always choose the person you want to help you.

Don't go off with someone who comes up to you. They might see you as a target because you're upset. So you choose your helper. Safe people are police officers & fire fighters, Block Parents, mothers with children, uniformed bus or subway drivers, teachers, people who work in stores.
