How to Help Protect Yourself

Here are some simple rules that can help you protect yourself. Talk about them with mom and dad. Can you think of other ideas to help you to stay safe?

• When you go out to play, always go with at least one other person.

• Always choose the road or path with more people around.

• Always tell your mom or dad where you are going and make sure you know how to find mom or dad or your teacher.

• Don’t walk with people you don’t know. Even if you do know the person, don’t walk with them unless your mom or dad says it’s okay.

• Don’t believe anyone who says your mom or dad asked them to take you home. Always check with your mom or dad first to make sure.

• Learn your mom or dad's phone number and make sure you know how to use a public phone. If your parents give you "emergency money", keep it safe in case you need it.

• If someone follows you or tricks you to go with them, or if you just feel scared, then run! Shout for help as loud as you can and keep shouting! Adults won't know that you need help unless you shout it!

• If someone does something that makes you feel strange or uncomfortable, you do not have to keep it a secret. It does not matter what the person said to you, or gave you, or even if you “promised” not to tell.

Remember, if something does happen, it is not your fault.

Find an adult you trust and tell them. If they won't help you, tell someone else.

Keep telling people until someone helps you! You can also call "113" for help.

Taiwan's emergency help line is 113.
