HOME ALONE SAFETY TIPS
When you are home alone keep in mind the following tips:
- If possible, ask your parents/guardians if you can have a buddy/friend over. There is strength in numbers.
- Keep all doors and windows locked. Only open the door for people your parents/guardians have given you permission to let in. Do not open the door for anyone else.
- When answering the phone, always pretend a parent/guardian is home.
- Keep all emergency phone numbers by the telephone.
- If there is anything you are not sure about, call your parents/guardians.
- Keep the volume on the T.V. and stereo turned low so that you can stay alert to your surroundings.
