STATISTICS ACCORDING TO A STUDY BY
THE UNITED STATES JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
According to a study by the U.S. Justice Department, 359,000 children are kidnaped every year. Of that 359,000 total, 4,600 children are kidnapped by people who are not relatives, many result in rape and assaults. In 1988, 114,600 children may have been involved in attempted kidnappings; 450,700 children ran away from home; and 127,000 were abandoned by their parents.
Thoughts for parents, guardians and child care providers
Never assume that your child will not be targeted for abused, abducted or exploited. You and your child cannot afford that dangerous assumption.
You may contact your local police department's Crime Prevention
Unit and request to set up an informative visit to a neighborhood meeting.
Always maintain a current photograph of your child(children) including current height and weight.
Obtain a passport for your child(children). Once obtained, it is hard for someone else to obtain another.
Know who your child's friends are, their parents, addresses and phone numbers.
Never leave your child unattended (i.e. shopping malls, in a vehicle, home, pool room, video game room, park, community swimming pool, ice or roller skating rinks, et cetera.)
Have your child's school establish a "School Call Back Program". If your child does not arrive at school on time, the school should call to find the reason for absence.
If your child becomes missing, or you suspect abuse, contact your local law enforcement agency. Never call Missing Persons & Sensitive Crime Investigations or any other agency first. Immediately call 911. If you can’t reach 911, call the ‘0' Operator and ask her to remain on the line until you reach help.

I know that if I am allowed to use a computer, I should never be in an Internet chat-room without a trusted adult watching what is being typed to me and what I’m typing back.

The fact that crimes are being committed online, however, is not a reason to avoid using these services. Precaution is the key and parents need to know the safety rules for children using online services.
I will tell my parents if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I will never agree to get together with someone I "Meet" online without parental permission. If my parents agree to this meeting I will be sure that it is in a public place and to bring a parent with me.
I will never send a person my picture or anything else without checking with my parents first.
I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. And, if I do, I will tell my parents immediately so that they can contact the online service.
I will talk to my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.
Teenagers are particularly at risk because they often use the computer unsupervised and because they are more likely than younger children to participate in online discussions regarding companionship, relationships or sexual activity.
PARENTS
Consider making it a family practice to keep the computer in a family room rather then a child's bedroom. Get to know their "online friends" just as you get to know all of their other friends.
Alzheimer's Tips
Be Prepared
Be aware that wandering may or may not happen. There is no way to predict who will wander or when and how it might happen. Some people never get lost and others get lost frequently. The best advice is to be prepared. If the person has a daily exercise routine and hasn't wandered, you need not be overly concerned. However, once the person begins to wander or gets lost, you should watch him more closely.
Encourage Movement and Exercise. Allow the person to move within safe areas or make a shared exercise such as walking part of your daily routine. Although walking in a circle might seem unusual, keep in mind that physical activity from walking and sweeping, to rolling yarn or folding clothes is a positive experience for the person with Alzheimer's.
Be Objective
Don't take the person's wandering behavior personally. The individual is probably trying to make sense of a world that no longer seems predictable.
Be Aware of Hazards
Remember that places that look safe might be dangerous for the person with Alzheimer's. For this reason, you should review the environment around your home for possible hazards, such as fences and gates, bodies of water, swimming pools, dense foliage, tunnels, bus stops, steep stairways, high balconies and roadways where traffic tends to be heavy.
Secure Your Living Area
Do whatever you can to keep your home safe and secure. Place locks out of the normal line of vision either very high or very low on doors. In addition, use a double bolt door lock, keeping the key handy for emergencies. Also, use a child proof door knob that prevents the person with Alzheimer's from opening the door. Other effective safety actions include the following:
Put hedges or fences around your patio or yard.
Place locks on gates.
Consider electronic buzzers, infrared electronic eye alarms or chimes on your doors.
Place a pressure sensitive mat at the door or person’s bedside.
Camouflage some doors with a screen or curtain, or put a two-foot square of a dark color in front of and over the door knob by taping to the door, allowing you to simply reach inside to the doorknob. But, often for the Alzheimer's patient, out of sight is truly out of mind.
Use a recliner or rocking chair. The person may need assistance to get up.
Use nightlights, signs and familiar objects to help the person move around in a safe area.
Put gates at dangerous stairwells.
Communicate with the Person
Remind the person that you know how to find him and that he's in the right place. If possible, take the person for rides in cars or buses in addition to providing regular activity and exercise.
Continually reassure the person who may feel lost or abandoned.
Identify the Patient to him or herself.
Investigate local Alzheimer's Chapter's identification programs. You may want to invest in a discrete identification bracelet or locket that includes the person's name, telephone number, memory problem and medical condition. Some experts even recommend putting identification on the person's dentures or attaching a sensor to the patient's ankle or wrist. In addition, choose bright-colored clothing and mark it with a sew-on or iron-on label, permanent marker, or reflective material. Also place identification on the person's shoes, eye glasses and keys.
Involve Your Neighbors
Inform your neighbors of the person's condition and keep a list of their names and telephone numbers handy. Although neighbors can be helpful in guiding the person home, you will probably want to teach them how to approach the person with Alzheimer's disease by using these steps:
Approach the person from the front.
Introduce yourself and call or ask a name.
Gently look for or ask to see identification.
Offer help and re-establish the day, date and time.
Avoid pulling or pushing the person.
Report the patient found.
Involve the Police
Some police departments keep a photo and fingerprints of people with Alzheimer's on file. Many local Alzheimer's Association Chapters sponsor some kind of identification program to help with wandering patients. If a person with Alzheimer's becomes lost, take a photo and an article of
unwashed, worn clothing in a plastic bag to the police. Also have data on the following items; age, hair and eye color, blood type, identifying marks, medical condition, medication, dental work, jewelry, allergies and complexion. Offer suggestions about where the police might find the patient, such as old neighborhoods, former work areas or favorite places.
Be Prepared for other Modes of Wandering
Although most wandering takes place by foot, some individuals with Alzheimer's disease have been know to drive 300 miles and sometimes in an automobile that belongs to someone else. You can prevent these problems by keeping car keys out of sight or by temporarily disabling the car by removing the distributor cap.
Suicide Prevention Tips
THE FOLLOWING ARE SYMPTOMS OF SUICIDAL INCLINATION:
Depression including apathy, despondency, hopelessness or helplessness
Unintentional rapid weight loss or gain
Exhaustion or sleep disorders, especially early waking
Lack of productivity
Loss of sense of humor
Flat tone of voice
Excessive drinking or use of drugs while depressed
Loss of appetite for food
Change in sex frequency
Sudden change in mood or behavior
Ambivalence such as feelings of wanting to live and die at the same time
Alienation from others
Guilt, shame and feelings of inadequacy, embarrassment or frustration
Disorganization, confusion, hallucinations, delusions and chaos - (a sense that life is out of control)
Anger, rage, hostility and blame
Giving away possessions or giving up important activities
Loss of interests in hobbies
Stating interest or thought about suicide
DETERMINING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A SUICIDE ATTEMPT
1) Openly discussing depression and suicide is one of the most helpful things one can do. Does the person have a plan? If so, you need to ask specific questions as to how, when and where will they carry their plan out. The more lethal the method (i.e. using a gun or jumping from a building) and the more thought out the plan, the greater the risk involved.
2) Were there any prior attempts or threats? A suicide threat should always be taken seriously.
3) Has there been a previous suicide in the family or by a friend/role model of the person? If so, the threat might be more serious.
4) What kind of stress is the person experiencing in their life? A brief period of severe stress is often more lethal than chronic stress.
5) Look for signs of internal stress such as feelings of worthlessness, alienation, helplessness, guilt, feelings of failure. Does the person see family and friends, or are they isolating themselves? How long has the person felt this way? The longer the situation has existed, the more lethal it may be. What are the person’s inner strengths? How willing they are to make necessary changes affects the potential danger.
6) Look for signs of external stress such as:
A) Loss of a loved one or loved object (This can include death, divorce or separation)
B) Ill health
C) Legal problems
D) Monetary problems
E) Loss of status or prestige
F) Employment changes such as a new job assignment or loss of a job assignment. Even sudden success or acquiring a large sum of money can induce stress.
Try to determine when these external stressors first occurred and the length of time that they have existed.
7) What is the age of the person? It has been discovered that the risk for suicide increases with age. It has been reported that approximately 6,300 older adults take their own lives every year.
8) What is the sex of the person? Even though women attempt suicide more often than men, men are more successful.
9) Does the person have a problem with drugs or alcohol? Regardless of age and sex, alcoholics and drug addicts are higher suicide risks. Often these individuals have poor impulse control and unstable lifestyles causing internal and external stress.
10) Homosexuals have also been found to have a higher suicide rate. This is primarily from the alienation experienced from society.
11) What is the persons medical condition? The risk of suicide increases as the seriousness and length of chronic medical illness expands. It’s important to monitor the successes or failures of medical treatment and the patients connection to reality. Does the person have any recent incapacitating physical conditions, e.g. recent blindness or loss of a limb may cause a person to have feelings of a loss of self worth.
12) What kind of support does the person have in his/her life? The greater and more meaningful the relationship with others in that persons life, the lower the lethality. Is the person willing to accept professional help? A person’s willingness to accept help and make
change reflects the state of their despair.
Listen to your own feelings as you may know the person best.
HOW TO RESPOND TO A SUICIDAL SUBJECT
1) See if the person is willing to get help.
2) Call a suicide crisis line or encourage them to call.
3) Enlist the help of friends and family.
4) Call the police and have them do a welfare check.
5) If possible, remove all lethal items from the person’s possession.
6) Try to prevent the individual from being alone.
7) Call psychiatrist or other health care professional.
