Teach your children about personal safety at a young age so they can better protect themselves.
* Map out a route to and from school and walk it with your children. Make sure they follow this same route every day unless they have your permission to go another way.
* Find out if your school has an attendance call-back program to let you know if your child does not arrive at school.
* Your child should carry some form of identification, for example, a laminated ID card with his or her name, complete address, telephone number and an emergency contact person and their phone number.

* Keep up to date records on your child, including a recent photo, a lock of hair wrapped in plastic, age, blood type, height and weight, date and location of last dental x-rays, distinguishing marks, eye color and any other identifying characteristics.
