PSA from the Sheriff's Office:

🚨 STRANGER DANGER: One Simple Rule Every Child Should Know 🚨

Teach your children this important rule:

👉 Adults ask other adults for help — not children.

If a grown-up approaches your child and says:

“Can you help me find my puppy?”
“Can you help me find my lost child?”
“Can you show me where something is?”
“I need help carrying something.”
“Can you come with me for a minute?”
Your child should know that they do NOT need to help.

Tell them:

🛑 “I’m a kid. Ask an adult.”

Then move away and find a trusted adult — a parent, teacher, police officer, store employee, or another safe adult.
