Child Safety Guidelines

The world belongs to the children and we are only holding it in trust until they are old enough to take possession. One way to accomplish our goal of stopping crimes against children and ending child abuse is to arm kids with safety tools based on the most current information and best knowledge available on child safety issues.

We are expanding this section to include disaster preparedness guidelines. As careful as we are with our children, we must also ensure that when natural catastrophes occur, we have a plan of action and resources that will protect our entire family.

Although many parents do not discuss safety and preparedness issues out of concern about frightening their children, it is really their own fears that most parents are afraid to face. Just as they seek knowledge in the classroom, acquire athletic ability on the playground and develop social skills with their friends and family, children want the information that arms them with knowledge and allows them to grow up to become safe and productive citizens.

We have categorized a variety important and relevant information for you to share with your kids. Whether they are situational or seasonal, all of the suggestions are pro-active and designed to empower, not frighten your children and your family.

We are also providing parents and primary caretakers with important safety tools as well. Our Child Identification Kit and Do It Yourself DNA Sampling Kit are designed with several goals in mind. Besides being available at no cost, they provide adults with a way to engage very important discussions that are critical to their children’s safety in ways that are positive and empowering, not negative and fear inducing. Remember, the more your child knows, the safer your child will be.
