Here are some basic life-saving tips for us as parents to be more aware of:

• Make sure your child knows their phone number with area code and are able to write it.
  
  
• Never leave your child in a car alone. Would you leave money on the front seat of your car while you run into a store to get something? How much is your child worth?
  
  
• If your child is left at home they should never open the door or be allowed to do it even when you are home.  They will do what they are used to. This also applies to the phone. A predator can find out who is home and when very easily!
  
  
• Never allow your child to go alone to a public restroom without an adult. Don't be lazy with your child's safety and innocence!
  
  
• Don't think giving your child a cell phone will protect them. Cell phones are nothing more than communicators, they are not weapons that will help in abductions or being molested.
  
  
• Is your child eating healthy? It is your responsibility as a parent to provide proper nutrition for your child. If I brought you the car of your dreams, wouldn't you put the best gas in it?
