My 8 Rules of Safety (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 1999)

1. I always check first with my parents or the person in charge before I go anywhere or get into a car, even with someone that I know.
2. I always check first with my parents or a trusted adult before I accept anything from anyone, even from someone that I know.
3. I always take a friend with me when I go places or play outside.
4. I know my name, address, telephone number and my parents' names.
5. I say "No", if someone tries to touch me or treat me in a way that makes me feel scared, uncomfortable or confused.
6. I know that I can tell my parents or a trusted adult if I feel scared, uncomfortable or confused.
7. It's OK to say "No", and I know that there will always be someone who can help me.
8. I am strong, smart and have the right to be safe.
