Child Safety
Overview

Child Safety Tips for stranger danger, personal safety devices, molesters, and Internet safety tips for kids.

The murder victim's father said he was in shock. "That my daughter could no longer be with me is unbelievable. But the unbelievable has happened...”
Excerpted from Reuters – 02 June 2004

Ten-year-old Rebecca Savarese, on her way to school one wintry morning in 1993, was walking on the sidewalk at a busy intersection in Pittsfield MA when a man suddenly grabbed and pulled her toward his pickup truck at the curb. She yelled and spun away, leaving him holding her empty backpack as she ran to safety. He dropped it on the sidewalk and casually drove away. Only one passerby noticed the kidnapping attempt and wrote down the truck’s plate number. This led to the arrest of Louis Lent at his home – with hidden cages built into the walls – a murderer of dozens of children.

Rebecca was his only target who knew enough to defy an adult and escape. None of his other victims knew the simple lifesaving skills that spared Rebecca and led to the removal of a monster from society.

"You know there are evils out there, but you never believe it will touch on you and yours. When it does, it is a lifetime's sentence of hell." – mother of a girl murdered in 1973 quoted in The Guardian (UK) – 18 January 2003

Personal Safety Devices

• Child Alarms at www.guarddog.net alert you if your child wanders away beyond 30 feet. A variety of models are available. I highly recommend these if used with the utmost parental discretion.
• Alarms (a.k.a. noisemakers). An attacker won’t likely chase a noisy target. See www.guarddog.net.
• For complete child safety, follow the guidance thoughout Crime-Safety-Security.com, especially Home Security.
