Strangers

[minioncookies]

Do you teach your kids the importance of not talking to strangers?

Did you know there was a man who did a social experiment on youtube about child abduction?
You would be shocked at the outcome of that video..


Do you think your child would talk to the stranger?      Or Do you think your child would run to you?

I know my kids will not talk to strangers, especially since they are teenagers now, but also have yo be aware of the people they know.  At least have of the abductions and most of the child abuse cases happen with people they know, so we have to teach them that if your BFF father or mother ask you to do something that they feel is not right or makes they uncomfortable then don't and tell your parents.  Nor just because you teach them to respect the older it means that they have to do everything they are told even if they know what not to do.

I give an story, my then 3 years old daughter went to stay overnight at my cousins house, I had drilled her on not letting anyone touch her private parts and even gave her a list of my closest relatives that could give her a bad or clean her bottom if daddy or me are not around, I mentioned my cousin but not her hubby even though for me it was the both of them, but I did not give her his name, so she stayed overnight and her with their 2 kids 5 and 3 where taking a bath, HE came to out soap on them and my baby told him in his face that he was not on her list and he could not touch her in her privates, LOL they called me laughing but very proud that she had listened to my instructions.

When I was little, I was really careful about not talking to strangers and my stranger danger alert was always on! Perhaps it was a little exaggerated.

I tell my niece and newphew to be cautious. If we are not with them, then they should not go with people they don't know.  We all want kids to be safe, but to a certain extent. We don't want to traumatize them so that they never speak to anyone they don't know. 

In terms of what the child did in the video, I think the child probably kicked him in the shin and ran away. haha.

My kids are scared to death of strangers. Even if we are at the grocery store and an adult says hi or compliments them, they are wary. They're polite, but they know they can't trust strangers.

When my children were young, I used to teach them to never, ever talk to strangers and by all means never, ever be swayed by a stranger telling them "your Mom sent me to pick you up" or "I've lost my puppy, can you help me find it?"  Those are the things that all children should be taught to be on the lookout for, especially in this day and age!!

Honestly, I do not think your cousin's husband needs to be giving little girls that are not his daughter a bath.

I have a 16 mo old daughter and I am trying to teach her stranger danger but she will wave and say hi to anyone that walks past us. She is NEVER out of my sight unless her father is around and he keeps an eye out on her too. It does worry me though that she is so young and doesn't have that fear of strangers
