Child Safety Tips:
CHILD PREDATORS

SANTA GRABS GIRL

Anthony Russo, dressed in a Santa suit, grabbed a 12-year-old girl walking to school in Ohio on a December morning. He came out of the bushes and told the girl to come to him.

She ignored him and kept walking. Russo followed and grabbed her arm twice but she pulled away each time and quickly walked away. He followed.

She told a storeowner and Russo ran off. Police found Russo wearing the Santa suit, carrying a sack of candy canes and a unicycle with bells and Christmas decorations on it.

How would you protect a lone 12-year-old girl from predators while walking to and from school?

ANSWERS:

First: child predators are lurking all around us as shown in Child Safety - Molesters. See www.FamilyWatchdog.us for a shocking list of sex offenders in your area. Search your entire metro area – they travel, you know.

Second: NO child should be alone off her/his own property until maybe their mid-teens. Perhaps a bit younger if they’ve attended at least two or three RadKids.org sessions. Please see Child Safety - Recap (in the bottom 1/3 of the page) for more details of the wonderful RadKids.org program.

Third: fortunately, Old Sick Nick chose a child too old to still believe in Santa. This Christmas tale reminds us that child predators will go to any length to attack a child. Let’s hope no softheaded judge goes easy on him. Sentencing Russo to 100 years would be a nice Christmas gift to the public – and making him wear his Santa suit in prison. Ho Ho Ho.

Teach your kids the lessons in Child Safety - Outdoors. See the menu on that page for how to prevent all crimes against children, especially child sexual assault and child kidnapping at Child Safety - Kidnap Escape. Also see Stranger Danger vs Stranger Safety.

Also, a 12-year-old girl is old enough to start learning the teen and adult tips in Outdoor Safety - Overview, Outdoor Safety - Friendly Predators, and Outdoor Safety - Facing Danger.
