Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

Happy Thursday!!



Today we had Constable Mark Caccamo, School Resource Officer to talk to us about the events that we have heard in the news regarding attempts to lure kids into vehicles in our city.

The conversation was so good, it was a great opportunity to help adults and kids to talk about what to do to keep safe. Some highlights:


For the Parents:

Don't become too comfortable or complacent, even in your own neighbourhood. Make sure your kids get to where they are going.

When it comes to their clothing, you may want to rethink having their names on items, this is one way "strangers" gain their attention, by calling them by their name.

Keep an open dialect with your kids. If they know they can tell you anything, they will.

When it comes to strangers, know that if your child has met them once, they may think they would be safe to talk to or go somewhere with. If your child behaves in a manner that indicates this person makes them uncomfortable, pay attention.

You could consider coming up with a code word to use for people who may have to pick up your child.



For Kids:

Don't go in ANY vehicles. If there are relatives that may pick you up, you would know that before you left school or anywhere you happen to be.

You might want to come up with a code word with your parents so that anyone that may come to pick you up from school or wherever you are would have to know the code.

No one expects you to stop and write down a description of a person who has made you uncomfortable, but what you can remember would be helpful.

Be aware of your surroundings. If a anything looks suspicious, tell your parents or an adult you trust.


We are working on posting the interview will be posted on our website soon.
