Child Safety & Friendly Lures

Video Transcript

Some of the lures that are out there these days you would be so surprised at. They are disguised as child-friendly and actually in the interest of your child's safety. For example, fingerprinting. If you're going to do a fingerprinting and identification kit, you really are going to want to do it at a reputable place, such as a police station or a school. You don't want to go up to a little stand that's set up, that offers you free pictures and fingerprinting of your children, and they have you fill out a form and they mail it to you. This essentially gives a predator every single bit of information that they could possibly want about your child. They now have a picture of your child, they have your home address, they have your, all of your child's information. So, you absolutely don't want to fall into this trap. Also, picture stations. One time I was at a Halloween carnival where a volunteer had set up a backdrop, a very simple backdrop and he was a "part-time photographer" taking pictures of children and asking the parents to fill out information cards with the child's name and home address, and he would later mail the pictures. This is not something that you want to do. Again, it gives a child predator all of the information that they could possibly need to contact your child. So, you want to be careful with things like that. Letters to Santa or letters from Santa, excuse me. All of these things are things that you really want to be careful. If you want Santa to send your child a letter, I'm sure that you can get creative enough to write a letter and disguise your writing and have it mailed to your house. You really want to be careful, sometimes things that seem very well-meaning and in the interest of your children, really are something very different.
