Take Care

One of the worst forms of violations against children is that of child sexual abuse.

Read the following eight rules for your safety:-

Remember that this can happen to both little girls and little boys.

1  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.  2  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.  3  It is safer for me to be with other people when going places or playing outside. I always use the "buddy system".  4  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.  5  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.  6  I trust my feeling and talk to grown-up 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.  7  It is never too late to ask for help. I can keep asking untill I get the help I need.  8  I am a special person, and I deserve to feel safe.
