KIDS LEFT HOME ALONE

Children left home alone should know the following things:

• What steps you want them to follow when they get home; such as phoning you at work or a neighbor or grandparent who is at home.
• Not to let strangers, adults or children into the home for any reason.
• Not to tell telephone callers or strangers that they’re alone.
• Doors and windows should always be locked. Be sure your children know how they work.
• Don't go into the home if a door is ajar or a window is broken, but to go to a neighbor’s or relatives house to call Police.
• Your rules about acceptable activities when you are not at home.
