What to do
Teach kids to stop and look for a safe helper
Examples can include uniformed staff, security, police, firefighters, or a parent with children depending on the setting.
Use a meeting place
At large venues, choose a visible meeting point before separating.
Notify staff immediately
Give a clear description and last-known location.
Keep one adult at the last-seen location when practical
Children often return to where they last saw the family.
Call 911 when risk is elevated
Do so for a very young/vulnerable child, dangerous surroundings, suspected abduction, or when you believe urgent police help is needed.
