- Before I go anywhere, I always check first with my parents
or the person in charge. I tell them where I am going, how I
will get there, who will be going with me, and when I'll be back.
- I check first for permission from my parents before getting into
a car or leaving with anyone even someone I know. I check first
before changing plans or accepting money, gifts, or drugs
without my parents knowledge.
- It is safer for me to be with other people when going places
or playing outside. I always use the "buddy system."
- I say NO if someone tries to touch me in ways that make me
feel frightened, uncomfortable, or confused. Then I go and tell
a grown-up I trust what happened.
- I know it is not my fault if someone touches me in a way that is
not O.K. I don't have to keep secrets about those touches.
- I trust my feelings and talk to grown-ups about problems that are
too big for me to handle on my own. A lot of people care about me
and will listen and believe me. I am not alone.
- It is never too late to ask for help. I can keep asking until I get
the help I need.
- I am a special person, and I deserve to feel
safe. My rules are:
Check
first.
Use the "Buddy
System."
Say "NO!", then
go and tell.
Listen to my feelings, and talk
with grown-ups I trust
about my problems and concerns.
