UTMB Drs. Sally Robinson and Keith Bly, in their Keeping Kids Healthy column, offer advice to prevent a child from being abducted. "Children should know their name, address and phone number with area code. Older children should know their parents' work numbers. Away from home, older children should always be with a friend, always tell a responsible adult where they will be and say ‘no' if they fell threatened or uncomfortable. Children need to know that appropriate strangers, store clerks or police officers, can offer assistance if they are lost or need help."
