[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be aware of your surroundings. 
Never run into intersections even if you have the light. Always check for cars turning left. 
If something seems off (on the metro) get off and change cars. 
[b]If you need help, look for a woman with kids. 
[/b]Never get into another persons car - run away like your life depends on it. [/quote]

This is one of the things I have always told my kids too. That or a police officer but I kind of prefer a mom if they have the choice.[/quote]

Same, I have always said to look for a mom or grandma, or a worker if in a store. Related - teach your children YOUR cell phone number by kindergarten! Make into a song and teach them to ask that helper mom to call your cell phone. 
An adult should never ask a kid for help. A safe adult would know to ask another adult, never a kid. 
Always check intersections and alleys before entering. Cars don't follow the rules of the road and run red lights/stop signs. It's THEIR job to double check there are no cars.
You don't have to be polite if someone is bothering you and won't stop. If they don't listen and won't leave you alone, you can yell as loud as you can to get other adults to notice and help you.[/quote]
