Buddy Up

Teach your children, or the children in your family, about the buddy system. According to the Amber Alert website, a child goes missing every 40 seconds in the United States and more than 700,000 children go missing annually. In order to ensure the safety of your children, teach them to hold your hand when out in public; not to talk or go off with strangers;remember their phone number and address; and to yell “FIRE!” rather than “HELP!” if someone is trying to hurt or take them-this will gain more people’s attention. Every child we save will make for a better future.
