Keeping Kids Safe After School
You can help keep your children safe by knowing where they spend their time after school. Get to know the adults who show up at the various locations in the community where children gather and where they play together. Be wary of any adult who seems more interested in creating a relationship with a child than with other adults. Pay attention when an adult seems to single out a child for a relationship or for special attention. Warning signs include treats, gifts, vacations, or other special favors offered only to one specific child. For more information, please call the Archdiocesan Safeguard the Children office: (213) 637-7227.

For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at (213) 637-7650.

Mantenga Seguros a Sus Niños Después que Salen de la Escuela
Usted puede ayudar a proteger a sus hijos con simplemente saber en donde pasan su tiempo después de la escuela.   Identifique y conozca a los adultos que surgen en los diferentes lugares en la comunidad donde los niños se reúnen y juegan juntos. Tenga cuidado con cualquier adulto que parece más interesado en crear una relación con un niño que con otros adultos.  Preste atención cuando un adulto señala a un niño y le da atención especial o trata de formar una relación especial.  Las señales de advertencia incluyen golosinas, regalos, vacaciones u otros favores especiales ofrecidos solamente a un niño/a específico.  Para más información, por favor llame a la oficina arquidiocesana de Protección a los Niños (Archdiocesan Safeguard the Children office):  (213) 637-7508.

Para obtener ayuda, llame a la Oficina del Ministerio de Asistencia al (213) 637-7650.
