This month marks one year since the Virgina Tech tragedy - you can read more about it, here - and recently, a letter came home from my kids' schools saying that there's a guy, driving around town, who tried convincing a child to get into his car, claiming that the parents said "it was okay to go home, with him!"
Thankfully, the child knew better and thought enough to memorize half of the numbers on the perv's license plate.
This is a very scary time for my children...AND ME!
So, we talked about it and I asked Mini-me to write a paragraph about what she knows about accepting rides from strangers:
Whenever someone asks you to go in their car you should say no. Then they will try to trick you. Then you should run away and tell your mom or your dad what happened and they will take care of it. I hope you like it.
Please remember to talk with your children and have them "tell you" what they know about being safe!
