Set clear after-school routines—where kids go, who they’re with, and how they’ll check in. Even a quick text or call can provide a strong safety net during lower-supervision hours. #BacktoSchoolSafe25
Q2. Thirty-five percent of attempted abductions happen between 2–7 p.m. How can families prepare kids for safer after-school routines during these lower-supervision hours? #BacktoSchoolSafe25

Keep it simple: practice saying “NO,” running to safety, and telling a trusted adult. Role-playing short “what if” scenarios, such as when another adult has to pick up the child from school or they’re walking home from school or activities, can build confidence without creating fear. #BacktoSchoolSafe25
Q1. In 50% of attempted abductions, kids escaped by running away and in 28% by resisting (yelling, kicking). How can we teach these skills without causing fear? What “what if” scenarios work best? #BacktoSchoolSafe25

As kids head #BacktoSchool and settle into new routines, they’re also spending more time on devices—for homework, socializing, gaming and more. This increased screen time brings new and evolving risks, including some threats that didn't even exist a few years ago.
