KID'S SAFETY TIPS FROM OHIOTRAVELER.COM OUTINGS INTRODUCING SPOT-THE-ROCK
1. Don't argue with your sister in the car because it will distract your
mom or dad while they are trying to drive which could lead to an accident. (Kelly,
age 10)
2. Bring water. (Colton, age 4)
3. Know how to write your last name and your address and phone number
in case you get lost. If you are lost, try and find a policeman to help you. (by
Ashley, age 5)
4. Spot, if you are home alone, don't answer the phone or let anyone in the
door. Don't even answer the door. (Tia M., age 9)
5. If you get separated from your family while at the mall, go straight to the
information desk or nearest security guard so they can page your family over the
loud speaker and tell them where they can find you. (Michael W.)
6. Walk against traffic and ride your bike with traffic (Dally)
7. Wash your hands after using the bathroom so you don't get germs Spot (Tyler,
age 7)
8. Don't let mean people try to trick you like if a stranger comes up to you
and says something like your mommy got hurt and she asked me to pick you up (David
Keller)
9. If you catch on fire, stop, drop and roll (CMB in Brook Park)
10. Tie your shoes Spot, if you have feet, so you don't trip (by KJ in
Cleveland)
11. Know your phone number before you go (by Kyrsten in Medina)
12. Have a quarter so you can use a pay phone if you need to (by
Tyler in Stow)
13. Don't play with matches because your house, clothes, and toys will
burn. (by Kaitlyn)
14. Don't kiss animals near their mouth. You can give and get
germs from animals like strep throat. Some animals can die
from strep and colds too. (by Jessica)
15. Be careful when around strange dogs. I was running near one
at an ice cream shop, and he was on a leash, but he still bit me.
His owners were surprised when their dog went to bite me. Luckily,
his owners had taken him to get his shots and the dog didn't bite through
my skin. (by Kyrsten)
16. Look both ways before crossing the street (by Cameron, age 8 in Avon
Lake)
17. Don't talk to strangers (by Melissa Young, age 6)
18. Call 911 if you have an emergency (by Joshua, age 8 in Chardon)
19. Make sure you go potty before you leave home (Matthew, age 4 in North
Ridgeville)
20. Look left-right-left if you cross a street (by Janice, age 6 in
Cleveland)
21. Make sure everything is turned off before you leave home (Jenny S, age
11)
22. Spot, don't let your owner take you for a walk without a leash (Danny, age 9 & Katie, age 7 &
Mom-Nancy in North Olmsted).
"We have a friend (dog) that was hit by a car (his name is Jonny). He's an
Italian Greyhound. He survived, luckily! It was unusual for him to be off
his leash. He got confused, with all the great snow! He trusted that the car
would stop, because, surely, it would not want to hurt him. He was mistaken. He
was too trusting and OFF HIS LEASH. So tell your master to keep a leash on you
for ALL those walks!! People are not always on their toes!"
23. Make sure your home has a Carbon Monoxide Detector in it. My
Grandparents had one and it saved their lives. They couldn't smell the
carbon monoxide in their house, but the detector did.
I love my Grandparents and I am glad they are still alive. (by Kyrsten, age 10 in Fairview Park).
24. Don't put your name on the outside of your book bag, lunchbox or clothing

trick you into thinking they know you, when they really don't. (Kaitlyn, age 7 in Fairview Park)
