Sensitize children and prepare them for emergencies
The police in Saxony draws attention to the fact that children who find themselves in emergency situations need one thing above all: people who perceive and act. This also includes discussing with children how they can deal with certain situations themselves.
– Never go with strangers!
– If a child is being harassed, the best way for a child to get help is to run away to other people or to shops, doctor’s offices, school, etc.
– If it is not possible to get help, the child is allowed to do anything that helps to draw attention to itself – for example: screaming, scratching, biting and kicking.
– If your child has been asked by strangers to go or ride with them, or if you witness a situation in which a child is being harassed, inform the police immediately!
– Intervene if a child is obviously being harassed, e.g. B. by asking if everything is ok.
