What could start out as a boyfriend/girlfriend situation could turn dangerous very quickly. AVOID THE PLOY : "Oh, you are so pretty..." and then there is the "I could get you a job being a model" DON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO TOUCH YOU ... BE SUSPICIOUS IF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS PERSON. ... and you've heard this before from your Mom, teachers, etc., DON'T ACCEPT A RIDE WITH STRANGERS. REPORT TO ANY ADULT WHOM YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH, IF ANY OF THE ABOVE HAPPEN TO YOU. remember, the police are always there to help. Even use 911. The Ohio State Patrol Intelligence Unit at 1-866-678-8477. Remember, you will NOT be in any trouble if you seek help and tell the truth. Confide in someone or call the police. You can ask to speak to a female officer, don't hesitate. Never lie when explaining your situation. One lie will lead to another and another.
