Three Facts About Stranger Safety

1. If you have to talk to a stranger, look for a woman with children. In other words, if you can't find your mom -- find someone else's mom.

2. If anybody tries to take you away, resist with everything you have until you are too exhausted to resist.

3. While resisting, shout "Stranger! Stranger! Don't touch me!" as loud as you can for as long as you can.
