The modern world offers many wonderful things and also some frightening dangers. There may be toxic material in the water or food. A young child can be safe at home with the parents. But, when he or she starts school, the parent cannot provide that degree of safety. There is child abduction awareness that is necessary due to the dangers present in society.
There are law enforcement agencies, private and public organizations and lessons taught in school to try to keep children safe from sexual predators. There are parents who lost children to these predators who campaign for safety to prevent it from happening to others.
Any task force or other agency hopes to reduce the risk by publicizing the dangers. They give announcements on television about how parents can tell young children about stranger danger. It becomes very complicated when the predator is either a relative or friend of the family.
There was a time when parents felt no need to teach children about predators. How hard it is to explain that they cannot always trust religious leaders and teachers. Abductions are happening in epidemic proportions. Preparing a youngster to stay safe seems almost impossible.
There are some methods of protection that are not the whole answer to the problem, but, provide some degree of safety. Children can be taught not to go close to a stranger in a car. They can be warned what to do if a stranger asks them to help look for a lost puppy.
There can be a rule in place which prevents them from accepting a ride home from anyone, friend or not. Schools do not let a child leave unless the designated parent or baby sitter takes him or her. However, there are always instances when these safety methods do not work out as planned.
One concerned group of citizens conducted an experiment. They approached young children in a parking lot near a school. They asked if anyone would like to see their litter of puppies. They then were able to entice half of the children they approached to climb into a van to see the puppies up close.
Children cannot understand the reality of death. When told if they are kidnapped they will never see their parents again, they may nod their heads, but really do not understand. On television people die all the time and then come back to life in another episode.
Older children can be counseled to always trust their instincts. If something does not feel right, they should get away from the situation as quickly as possible. Predators, however, may be one step ahead of the most recent warnings.
Parents are told to have a picture and lock of hair ready, along with fingerprints, if their child goes missing. These things will help the police to move fast to find the child. It is important to remember the color of the clothing he or she wore to school that day. It is a sad commentary on our society that families must live in fear of being abducted while the predators enjoy freedom without worry.
