Children in single-parent and two-income families often find themselves at home
alone in the hours right after school. Help keep them safe with these tips and
precautions:
- Make sure they know their full name, address, and phone
number (parents' work numbers, too).
- Teach them how to call 911 or the operator in an
emergency.
- Explain how to give directions to your home in an
emergency.
- Make sure they know not to accept rides or gifts from
people they don't know well; tell them to stay at least 8 feet away from a
stranger in a car who stops to ask for directions.
- Teach older kids how to operate door and window locks
and your home's alarm system.
- Whenever your kids come home to an empty house, have
them check in with you or a neighbor as soon as they arrive.
- Give kids a house key to keep in a safe, concealed
place, such as inside a sock. Never keep a key outside under a doormat.
- Make sure your kids know that they must not let anyone
into your home, including other kids, without permission.
- Tell your kids how to respond so phone callers and
people at the door won't know they're home alone.
- Test your kids to make sure they know how to escape in
case of a fire or other emergency.
- Tell your kids never to go in your house or apartment
alone if things don't look right, such as if a door is is already open or a
screen is ripped
