I'm Catholic and the Catholic church has implemented that in Kindergarten the children will learn about predators, but a parent can opt out of having their child take the class. My husband and i were concerned that the information would not be exactly what we wanted our child to know.
We decided to let him take the class but my husband attended and sat with him threw it, so we would be able to answer questions he may have or to explain further on any subject. Also if you work or volunteer with children at the church it is mandatory for us to all get a background check and have our finger prints taken we also must take a class on how to spot sexual predators and how it has effected the lives of victims of abuse. After that horrible program (stranger danger) back when i was younger i wanted to be sure that my child got the right information, and was told that it could be any body you know or trust and not just the scary people and strangers that our out there.

Personally...I think all children should be educated on predators from the beginning...way before they even start school. My kids have always been taught that if someone makes you feel uncomfortable what you should do and those are your private parts...not for other people to look at or touch, and about coming and talking to me about ANYTHING. They don't keep secrets from me, even if someone tells them it's a secret, also I have reassured them that nobody is going to hurt me or anyone else if you tell me something that they told you not to tell me. If it is bad...I will be the one hurting them.

I think that most schools already have personal safety training as part of the health curriculum.
Our local park district, in conjunction with the local police & fire departments also offers 'Safety Town' classes that teach this, along with other safety lessons. And, the Cub Scout program includes a personal safety course, too.
I don't think kids can hear this message too often.

i think they should. I think the parents should sit down and talk to their kids and explain it to them. After the training you could dress up in a costume and go up to the child and see if they would talk to you and get in your car. I hope they wouldnt but at least you would feel a lil more at ez that you did your part in teaching them right and wrong. but i really think that would be a smart thing to do. There should be classes like that!

No I don't think they should. I think parents should take it upon them self to tell there children about certain parts of there bodies are no-nos. I told my oldest child when she started school about certain types of strangers. I think it maybe a little scary coming form someone other then the child's parents.

Kids are already taught that kind of thing . . . I remember I was taught that when I was a kid, and I'm 22.

Most schools already do this, but it is better coming from a parent.
