Teach your children important phone numbers to use in an emergency, and keep a more detailed list somewhere accessible to them. Have your children practice reciting their home phone number and address, and your work and cell phone numbers. Always tell your children where you will be and the best way to reach you. Get to know your children's friends. Meet their parents before letting your children to go to their home and keep a list of their phone numbers. If you can't meet their parents, call and talk to them. Work together with your neighbours. Watch out for suspicious and unusual behavior in your neighborhood. Get to know your neighbors and their children so you can look out for one another.
