Escape
Plan for Children You have the right to feel safe. Home
can sometimes be a place that is not safe because someone is using
their body and or words to hurt the people in your home. This is
a safety plan for you to follow when someone in our home becomes
violent, and you feel scared.
My
Escape Plan
- I
will know how to call 911 or 0 for help.
- I
can tell a family member or a friend.
- I
can talk with my schoolteacher or counselor.
- I
can save money for a phone call at a pay phone.
- If
I have a house key, I will keep it in a safe place.
- I
will keep a few of my favorite things together in case we have
to leave suddenly.
