A Service of the Parents League of New York
The Parents League Child Safety Campaign was formed in 1971 with a pilot project operating from 1972 to 1975. Since then, many schools have implemented various aspects of the program, including parent safety patrols and safety assemblies run by the Parents League for students, parents and teachers. The program encourages an awareness of the dangers found in the street in order to reduce incidents of personal attack and traffic accidents.
Children, especially those under the age of 15, are frequently the victims of personal aggression or traffic accidents. They are aware of some of the dangers and need to give voice to their fears and concerns, to share their own experiences and those they have heard from others, to have guidance in separating fact from fiction and to develop confidence together with caution. Above all, it is our duty as parents to make them aware of potential hazards and to teach them safe procedures.
