When we think of Holiday shopping, we think of all the glowing lights at our area malls and the various eye-catching decorations in shopping centers. Along with the distraction of our ‘to do’ list in our heads, we get preoccupied with carrying bags and scoping out gifts. But with the whirlwind of diversions, we cannot put our guard down on who is scoping out our own children.
To help with this here are the top 7 things parents can do to prevent their young from falling prey to strangers and child kidnappers in the busy hustle and bustle of the season.
1.Stay connected. Make sure you have your children with you whether in a stroller or holding your hand. Even if your child stays next to you other times of the year, all the distractions of toys, decorations, and Santa can make any kid get sidetracked. For older children invest in a family walkie-talkie set. Make sure they know how to use it and check in with them on regular time intervals to know where they are – even if they are right next to you.
2.If your child is lost go right to security. Most malls and shopping centers have security protocol when a child is missing. Don’t try to look for your child alone. Let them help you the second you realize you cannot find your child – every moment counts.

and dads have lots of pictures of the kids, but baby pics are not helpful if your child is lost and security needs to search for them.
4.Teach your child what to do if a stranger approaches them. First – Run away! Second – Tell somebody!
5. Role play with your child ahead of time. Use tactics that some kidnappers have used in the past and teach your children not to ‘fall for a stranger’s sneaky tricks!” i.e. stranger favorite lures: candy, video games, comic books, toys, telling them “your mommy told me to bring you home etc.
6.Do not have your child wear anything with their name on it – i.e. back packs, purses, and jackets. Child offenders with pick up these clues and use the child’s name when speaking with them to gain trust.
7.Practice, Practice, Practice! Reviewing these strategies not only will help your child remember, but keep it on your mind as well. We all want our children safe and happy for more holidays to come.
