Extractions: Read the Study WASHINGTON ( APBnews.com ) Acquaintances pose a greater risk to children than strangers, according to a new government report. The Justice Department study, Kidnapping of Juveniles , found family members committed the greatest number of child kidnappings 49 percent. Acquaintances were responsible for 27 percent of the abduction cases, while the remaining 24 percent of abductors were strangers. It was the first time researchers examined the acquaintance category separate from strangers, and the results will help guide future education and prevention strategies, government officials and child advocates said. "The data reinforces what we have said for many years, that 'stranger danger' is good information, but it's grossly incomplete," said Ernest Allen, chief executive officer of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "Children are at far greater risk with people they know, at least casually. It's not the guy who crawls out from under the bridge."

When this page was originally placed on-line in 1995, blocking software seemed like the ideal means of protecting children from potentially unsuitable material.

Extractions: Parents, your child's safety starts with you. Like any other area of their life, they must be trained and made aware. Talking to children about certain dangers makes many adults uneasy. Mom and Dad, ignoring the facts or pretending it can't happen to your kids isn't fair. By educating your children you give them confidence because they know right from wrong and they know how to respond. You must act now. The Sacramento Sheriff's Department feels the following information is important to your child's safety. We ask that you read this brochure and make sure your children know how to respond to different situations. It is very important, when teaching children about personal safety that they don't become overly frightened. So, never present too much information at once, as young children can't absorb a lot at one time. Children should know, of course, that the reason for learning and following safety rules is because they're loved. Go To Document Index The Three Basic Rules
