Safe Escape

This is a powerful informative video that prepares parents and children ages 4-14 to recognize and thwart predator lures and how to use their instincts, intuition, and common sense to make smart choices, not scared reactions when confronted by danger.

• The program equips the audience with proven safety strategies including: the "Velcro Hold", the "Windmill", the "Bike Hold" and many more.
  
  
• Children learn how to assemble the skills they have learned - "like the links of a chain" - since it sometimes takes two or three smart choices to escape from danger. Knowing how to "link" these choices is a key lesson in the program.
  
  
• Materials with important safety tips and information will be handed out at the end of the video.
