1. I will learn my address, phone number, and the name of my mom, dad, or guardian. I will know
how to dial 911.
2. I will always stay close to my parents or guardians, they are my trusted adults. If I want to go
somewhere I will ask first, tell them where I am going and when I will be back.
3. If I go anywhere it is always better to go with a friend. My friend and I can help each other stay
safe.
4. I will not talk to strangers even if I'm with a friend. Adults should ask other adults to help them.
5. If someone tries to touch me in ways that make me feel uncomfortable I will tell them "
no" or
"stop, I don't like that."
Yell-Run-Tell
6. I know it is never my fault if that happens. Run-Tell
7. I will then go tell a trusted adult what happened. Even if they say to keep it a secret, I will tell
and keep telling until someone helps me.
8. If is never good for me to keep secrets from my 'trusted adults.' I will talk to them about my
problems. It makes me feel bad to keep those secrets.
9. My trusted adults can be my parents, guardian, or even someone else! They are the people in
my life that care about me and want me to be safe.
10. I deserve to be safe and happy because I am a very special person. I will practice these ten
steps:
Learn my address & phone number
Check first
Never go anywhere by myself
Yell, Run, & Tell when someone frightens me
Never keep bad feelings a secret
