In my new book The Girls Vanished AKA Oak Horse Ranch Mystery after two
girls disappear walking home from school, Lt. Adams talks of the California
Police Department talks to The Middle School about simple rules to follow so
students won’t get hurt or kidnapped. These are the rules. Please follow the
rules:
i. “Never talk to strangers. Let’s hear it.”

Computer Safety
a. Be
very cautious when you are chatting online in the chat rooms. You never know
who is on the other end of the computer. You could think it’s somebody your own
age and it could very well be an older person who does not have your safety in
mind.
b. Do not set up a visit to that person
unless you tell your parents about this meeting first.
c. If you still insist on going to meet
this person. Take a friend or two with
you. Never go alone.
d.
He
had the students repeat the rules after he said them and then they were given a
hard copy in case they forgot.
