Did you know that nearly 7 out of 10 children will get lost for some amount of time at least once in their lives? It is estimated that at least 2,000 kids get lost every day in the United States alone. Though the vast majority are found unharmed very quickly, weīŋŊve all seen the worst-case scenario in the news. What can you do to prevent this possibility?
Every parent knows the fear of losing their child in a public place, like the mall or a park. In an instant, even well-behaved children have the natural curiosity that causes them to wander off when they see something interesting. In most cases, children donīŋŊt even realize the effect this has on the parent. Though it is usually innocent distractions that cause a child to be lured away momentarily, if youīŋŊve seen the news, you know that this is not always the case. A lost child can get scared, hurt, or even abducted, even if you only turn your back for a second to take a phone call, place an order, or speak with a friend passing by.
From a young age, instill in your child the rules for what to do if you are accidentally separated from them. Some strangers can actually be helpful, and the old adage not to talk to strangers may not be the best advice in some situations. For example, teach them how to spot a police officer or a store employee, as both can help reunite the child with you. Even young children can be taught phone numbers and home addresses; this simple step can go a long way. DonīŋŊt forget to teach them 9-1-1 while youīŋŊre at it. Never take your child to crowded places without their name and address attached somewhere on them.
There are many devices that can help you protect your children from these situations. For example, one type of alarm will sound when your child has wandered more than a preset distance away from you. Another inexpensive device is a personal alarm. This method is perfect for slightly older children, who can just press the alarm button if they are in need of assistance, and a loud alarm will sound. Too many children try to behave politely even when being abducted, when it is crucial that they yell, scream, and make as much noise as possible. A personal alarm can help them get the attention of nearby adults.
No matter the situation, never assume that your child is safe. The majority of abducted children are taken by family members or those who are familiar to them. Most abductions by strangers take place on quiet roads or sidewalks, though of course the possibility also exists in crowded areas. Children who are walking home alone or playing outside without supervision are particularly at risk. Parents can be lulled into a false sense of security in situation where they believe their children are safe, but the truth is, you must be prepared for all of the possibilities, all of the time. Teach your children that they may not be able to trust a neighbor, bus driver, or anyone else they donīŋŊt know well, even if they see them on a daily basis.
