Precautions Can
Cut Sex Crimes
Against Children
By Rl'TH M1IXTCTT, NBA
With sex crimes against chil-
dren on the increase, it is up to
us parents to do everything we
can to guard and protect our
children.
How ought we to go about it?
It seems to me that parents
can cut down on the danger to
children by taking a few simple
precautions.
First of all, we must impress
on our children the fact that
they are, under no circumstan-
ces. to get into a stranger's car,
accept a gift from a stranger,
enter a building on a stranger's
invitation, or believe that the
stranger who makes a fuss over
them is "just a nice man who
likes children."
Fears Necessary
Much as we hate to implant
any fears in our children, the j
world today requires that we
do teach them to fear some
things.
They have to be taught to
know that a car or a gun can 1
kill. They have to be warned ;
against playing with fire, and j
so on.
And it is every bit as impor- j
tant, if not more so, that we be j
just as realistic when it comes :
to protecting our children from ;
the sex criminals who are in j
our midst.
Other Precautious
There are several other pre-
cautions we can take also.
We can make sure that our
children never come home to
an empty house: that, if they
walk to and from school they
are taught not to play along the
way.
Teachers could help by find-
| ing some form of punishment
other than keeping children
after school. For if Susie is oc-
cassionally kept in. her moth-
er has no way of knowing whe-
ther to be worried or not when
she is half an hour late getting
home from school.
Supervise Play
And we can be careful where
our children play, making it our
business to know if an adult is
at home at Johnny's before say-
ing our own child can go to his
house to play.
If we don't take these simple
precautions, we aren't doing
what we can to protect our
children against a very real
danger.
