PSA Advice

• (In 1980) Every day 60 kids disappear; mostly from kidnappings (caused by both strangers or acquaintances). Teach your kids how they can defend themselves. [3]
  • Do NOT enter a stranger's car.
• (In 1980) Every day; over 2000 teens are victims of assault by strangers. Stay with family or friends; avoid walking outside alone, especially at night. [4]
• Be aware of when your neighbors are on vacation so that you can confirm if they are being robbed.
  • Some thieves pretend to be movers and might even borrow or steal a moving van to make their activity appear official. [5]
• If a bully is threatening you; talk it out with the bully or report this incident to an adult [6]
  • Stop, Talk and Walk to avoid bullies. Interrupt their insults, stand up to yourself, then walk away. [7]
  • Assist anyone you know who is being bullied in any way; even if you couldn't stop the incident, you can still be supportive and friendly. [8]
• Bullying victims show symptoms of their abuse. If you see the signs or assume something is wrong; talk to the victim, even if they are upset. [9]
• ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOORS [10]
  • Do NOT open the door if you don't know or can't see who it is. [11]
• A Neighborhood Watch can decrease crime by at least 50%; both as a deterrent and to potentially spot criminals in the act. Criminals prey on individuals; they are terrified of being outnumbered.
• If possible; ALWAYS call the police if you spot a crime. Don't be a hero; the criminal could be hiding a knife or pistol.
• Identity thieves have multiple ways to find your information. [12]
  • Keep your creditcard hidden while in public. Remember phones have cameras.
  • Use secure mailboxes so thieves don't steal the information on your unpaid bills.
  • Shred your paper; identity thieves are willing to steal trash to get that info.
