Please be diligent, and watch out for ALL children!  Teach kids to be aware of their surroundings.  Make sure they travel in groups, not alone.  Tell them how to communicate with someone if they sense there is a problem.  They need to be safe from all kinds of harmful and dangerous situations, and this situation is unfortunately only one of many they may face.

Don't be afraid or embarrassed to have frank discussions with your kids.  They need our guidance!
