THINGS TO DO IF SOMEONE BIGGER STARTS TO HURT YOU
- Leave. Don't stay. Take care of yourself.
- If the person is bigger than you, get away from him or her. Go to a safe place and
take care of yourself. Find a place where you feel safe. Or run to some adult you trust
or to your neighbor's house.
- Find some safe people to talk to. If the first person does not listen, find someone
else.
- Remember kids should not be hurt. Not even parents are supposed to hurt little
kids. Keep talking until you find someone to help you.
- If you or other people in your family are being hurt badly, call 911 and ask for
help.
- If someone is touching you in ways that you do not like, call the Child Abuse Hot
Line at 1-800-422-4453.
