Every Day Is Special: February 12

Know whom you should ride with.

Never take shortcuts on the way home.

Avoid vacant lots, alleyways, and construction sites.

Never play in empty or deserted buildings.

What if a stranger offered you candy? Tell a trusted adult right away.

Never go with someone who doesn't know your family's secret word.

Never let anyone know you are home alone.

All these bits of advice come from Safety Pup, and the National Child Safety Council.
