NCMEC recommends that parents and guardians consider children’s summer activities, both structured and unstructured, and take responsible actions to help keep them safer. The first step is to open the lines of communication.
Kids need to know:
- Neighborhood boundaries and whose homes they may visit.
- Who to call and where to go in an emergency.
- Their full names, address, and telephone number(s).
- To keep doors locked and not open the door if they are home alone.
- Not to approach a vehicle or accept a ride from anyone without your permission.
- To avoid pools and other bodies of water without adult supervision.
- Their curfew, and to call you if they will be late.
Other important reminders for parents:
- Supervise children at malls, movies, arcades, or parks.
- Choose and screen babysitters with care.
- Before enrolling your children, investigate daycares, camps, and summer
programs thoroughly. - Always listen to your children.
