School starts Aug. 29 for Montgomery County Schools and Takoma Park Police offered their tips for being safe at school.
1. Children: Always let your parents know where you are.
2. Always try to play or walk with friends.
3. Say no if a stranger offers you gifts or asks you to help find
something, like a lost dog.
4. If anyone, even someone you know, tries to do something that makes you feel unsafe, say no. And always tell someone you
trust about it, like your parents or a teacher.
5. Never get into a car with a stranger or with someone you don’t
trust.
6. Never go anywhere with a stranger or with someone you don’t
trust.
7. Never believe a stranger until you have checked what he or she has
said with someone you trust.
8. Never open the door to a stranger when you are home alone or to
someone you don’t trust.
9. Never give any information to a stranger over the Internet or
telephone.
