With the ongoing warnings, attempts, and in some cases kidnappings, parents have become anxious and panicked about their children’s safety.

• Following two alleged kidnappings of two primary school girls in Kempton Park, Kim Coetzee, Kempton Park CPF Exco public relations officer, shared five tips to keep children safe:
• Teach children your phone number: They should know your cellphone number and their address.
• Keep friends close: If your child is going to a place they have never been to before or aren’t that well familiar with, they should take a trusted friend along.
• Avoid shortcuts: Avoid walking through areas that are not visible to general traffic. Please teach this to children as well.
• Teach children to use those lungs, speed and noises are key: If someone is chasing your child or forcing them into a car, teach them to scream and if the attacker doesn’t have a dangerous weapon, advise them to make a dash for it.
• Keep connected: Make sure you know how to find or contact your children at all times. If they are too young to carry a cellphone, ensure you can contact their older sibling, guardian or anyone who looks after them.
