Child, I'm lost and I need your help.

I created this lens to support the Polly Klaas® Foundation. You can help, too.

Help the Polly Klaas® Foundation find missing children, prevent children from going missing, and pass laws like Amber Alert that help keep children safe. Build a lens for them at the Polly Klaas® Foundation Headquarters on Squidoo or visit the Polly Klaas® Foundation website.

Child Safety Tip

A Child needs to know the difference

We need to make sure that we teach our kids, if they become lost, that they know there is a difference between them asking for help and a stranger asking them for help. We stress to kids not to talk to strangers, but there might be a time when they need to ask for help from a stranger. A Time when they become lost and need help from others. There are times when anyone could use help from a stranger.

Ask another Mom for help if you become lost

As a Parent you need to instruct your kids where to go and who to ask for help, if they become lost. Another woman with kids is usually a safe place. Most Child Pedophiles are men. Women usually are not child pedophiles and when they are, they are usually helping a man. If your child becomes lost, teach your kids to ask for help from another woman with kids. There is no such thing as a perfect plan, but there might come a time where your kids need help from stranger. They need to know where to go for help.

Ask a Police Officer or Store Employee for help

If you become lost

Teach your kids to look for a Police Officer or for a person of authority, such as a store or park employee. There is no such thing as a fail proof system, but kids need to be able to know the difference in someone approaching them and your kids approaching someone for help.

It is OK to ask a Stranger for help

Ask the right person

I saw a kid on television who was lost, it was a reenactment. The Child was lost in the woods. The child was so scared of strangers, she was hiding from her rescuers. She almost died from exposure because she did not know the difference from her asking for help and someone asking her for help. There may be a time when a child needs help. A child needs to learn, if they become lost, to ask for help, to as many people as possible and not to leave with a single person. A Child needs to know that you love them and you would never give them up or stop looking for them.
