Keeping your child safe
Average rating:
If your child feels harassed by crowds of teens when they are out, tell them to simply walk away from them. If they were to run, the group of kids might have run after them. And it's not a good idea to say something as that may encourage the group. Tell your child that if it happens again and they are not near home, to knock on the door of a house with lights on.
