- 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.
- 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.
- It is safer
for me to be with other people when going places or playing
outside. I always use the "buddy system."
- 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.
- 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 secret about those touches.
- I trust my
feelings and talk to grown-ups 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.
- It is never
too late to ask for help. I can keep asking until I get the help
I need.
- I am a special
person, and I deserve to feel safe. My rules are:
- Say NO, then go and
tell.
- Listen to my feelings, and
talk with grown-ups I trust about my problems and
concerns.
