NO!

“Tank” the dinosaur says “Stay away frompeople who call to you from a car, even if the person offers a “fun” experience or asks you for directions.”

Do not go with an adult who says your parents or caretaker needs you somewhere else!!!!! ALWAYS, check with your parent, teacher or principal first.

If anyone tries to take you away, YELL “this is not my father (or mother)” and KEEP YELLING very loudly.

If you get lost in a store, find another mom with kids or go to the checkoutcounter right away. DO NOT WANDER AROUND OR GO WITH A STRANGER!

If someone tries to bother you, always tell your mom or dad or guardian.

DO NOT LET ANYONE TOUCH YOU IN/ONANY PARTS OF YOUR BODY THAT YOU’REBATHING SUIT COVERS!!!

And you should not touch anyone else in/on those places either!! Don’t be ashamed to tell if that

happens!!!!!

AND FINALLY, DO NOT LET ANYONE TAKE YOU’REPICTURE OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL UNLESS YOUR MOM, DAD, OR GUARDIAN SAYS IT IS OKAY!!!!

It is best to tell your child these rules from an early age. Explain that some adult behaviors are NOT OKAY. Teach young children to say a strong “NO” to any adult who misbehaves. Tell your child not to speak to strangers!!!!!

It is important to remember that often the molester is someone the child knows, like a relative, a neighbor, a teacher, a sports coach, or a family friend. Sometimes the abuse happens in the home of the victim child or of the abuser.

“Tank” the dinosaur borrowed these rules from Megan’s Law. http://www.megans-law.net/Missouri-Megans-Law.asp

“Tank” always wants you and the

child to REMEMBER: That the molester often plays with the child when other adults are not around and will encourage activities for just the two of them. The molester may tell the child that a parent or pet will be killed if the secret sexual activity is reported. It is very important that the child feels safe to talk about such experiences with the parent or guardian.

There are ways for parents and guardians to defend against people who molest and hurt children. Molesters know how to get near children by being friendly or giving toys and sweets or money. They are very clever in getting the child to do what they want ---- that is, to abuse the child sexually or even to steal him or her away from you.

“Tank says if you do not feel safe this place will help for sure”!!

“Tank” the dinosaur lived for helping people and he wants ALL parents tomake sure that THEY read this book to THEIR children and explain to them

the differences between “good touches” vs. “bad touches.” It is very important for parents to sit down with their kids and explain to them all

about what is in this book and explain how important it is to tell somebody when you don’t like the person that is bothering you. Most of the time if a baby cries when you hand them to somebody, you maybe should not leave

your baby with them. The baby is letting you know they don’t feel good vibes and we can all learn from babies and children. Start listening and learning FROM OUR KIDS because after all, these little people will turn out to be

very productive adults if we ONLY listen and PROTECT THEM!!!

You see, “Tank” the dinosaur wants all kids to be taken care of so they will not become extinct like his family did. Extinct means disappear forever and

never coming back.

This is just important information I feel should be known and is not being sold and is for this purpose only. I hope you enjoy and pass along to anyone or just lay me down so somebody else can read and learn something that is being taken to lightly within society. Every time you turn the television or

radio on, there is another child being taken away from us.

PEOPLE, IT IS TIME TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AND KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE SCUMS OF THE EARTH THAT

LIKE TO HURT LITTLE CHILDREN.

”Tank” the dinosaur loves all children and wants them to start being protected and this is why he wants you to read this and pass thISmessage along to all people of all ages.

PROTECT OUR KIDS FROM PREDATORS AND SICK PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO HURT THEM!
