10 steps to avoid having your child kidnapped

Child abduction has become a major concern these days. Every parent stays concerned when their child is away from them. There are many news off late about children getting kidnapped from park, school, from their activity classes. Here are some life saving hacks that will help you to prevent from getting your child in such situation:

1. Home alone he is

If your child is alone at home make sure to teach him that he does not open the door without looking for the person through the peephole. If the person is a stranger let him not open the door.

2. Maids or servants, do not trust them

If you have a maid working for you since the last 10 years or your servant is working for you since the last 5 years, do not trust them with your child, it doesn’t take long for them to shed off their loyalty.

3. Take your child with you

If you are going for a late night dinner or movie, take your child along with you. Leaving him alone at him is far more worrying than to take him along with you.

4. What to do at unavoidable circumstances?

There might be an emergency meeting next day you and your spouse might not be at home for a couple of days, during such situations leave your child at a close relatives or friend’s place. They will take better care of him than your servants.

5. Regular calls

If you are not with your child, do not forget to call him regularly. Do not make him feel alone.

6. Keep identity proves of all your staffs and servants

When you keep ID proves of all your staffs and servants you indirectly give them a hint of the consequences that they will face if they try to abduct or harass your child.

7. Dealing with strangers

Ask your child not to talk to strangers or take chocolates or candies from them. It’s better to prevent than to repent.

8. Telling you where they go

This is very important, your child should have this habit of telling you where he is going, evening if he is to aunt next door, he must tell you.

9. What to do at malls, programs and other places

Your child should know what a mic coordinator and cashier does, if he is lost he should immediately rush to these people so that they can make an announcement.

10. Lastly,

never leave your child alone in a public place, stroller or car. Not even for a minute. Always accompany your child on door-to-door activities, i.e. Halloween, school fundraising campaigns, etc.
