how many times do I have to tell you not to throw your clothes on the floor I'm the one dadus this is the third shirt you ripped in a week don't you tell anybody cuz if you do you're going to be in big trouble this makes me very angry sorry you had better start taking better care of your clothes young man you want your teddy you sure now don't you be scared by th you we and we've got the flashlight no one knows for sure if it was a magic flashlight or if it was just a magic night but when fatty has turned on that light something happened that had never happened before what's going on I gladly tell you what your home me much too tightly you can talk here I can where's here we're in the land of lessons in the region of rules to be exact the region of who it's not a who it's a what there comes a time when you need to learn the rules to stay safe and happy in the world there are very important lessons that you must know in order to protect yourself there is yes indeed but you must go and find them for yourself but how by following the path of your heart but I don't see any path it's not a path that you see it's a pth that you feel it's your first lesson and maybe the most important one of all are you going to come with me no this is where I belong but don't worry I'll be here when you get back now you run along find what to [Music] do how am I supposed to find what to do all by [Music] myself rib ribbit ribit what to do what to do excuse me I'm looking for what to do that sucks that's you I'm what I'm too we're on our way to see the professor see the who come on just follow what too but that's just it I don't know what to do what too what can H so you don't know what to do hm who are you I am Professor sir Hillary V cop and who might you be stranger I'm not a stranger I'm sadus well that may be but if I don't know you you're a stranger to me it's very important to know what a stranger is and to know the rules about strangers what does a stranger look like like anybody a stranger can look like anything because a stranger is simply any person you do not know short or tall black or white no matter how they grow a stranger is a stranger is a person you don't know man or lady thick or thin from the nasty to the nice you do not talk to strangers that's a rule so don't think twice why shouldn't I talk to strangers because unfortunately there are bad strangers who hurt children now most of the people you will ever meet are very nice but some are not even though they may act nice so the simplest thing is to have a room you do not talk to strangers and you never go with a stranger or even a family friend unless they know the magic password the magic password yes a special word you and your mom or dad choose like using your teddy bear's name Bartholomew if a stranger or friend says it's okay to go with them you must ask what's the magic password if they don't know don't go what's that that's a lure to a fish it looks like something yummy to eat but it's really just a trick it's got a hook in it that's how fish get caught but what's that got to do with me well sometimes strangers will try to trick kids and confuse them like using a lure for instance someone might ask you to go with them and look for their lost puppy would you go a puppy remember the rules you don't go with strangers they can find an adult to help them oh yeah I guess I shouldn't well tell him no I guess you'll have to find an adult to help you that was very good now what if a man showed you a badge and said I'm a police officer I want you to come with me would you go I better you better not he could be pretending you're not going with any stranger even if it's a police officer no I'm not going with you you're a stranger that was good but there are many more lures that confuse kids like your mother is hurt and she sent me to get you what do you think you do I know what's the secret password password well if you don't know I'm not going with you excellent I can see you're not going to be tricked into going with strangers or people who don't know the magic password you're really beginning to know what to do now there are some very basic rules to use anytime you're uncomfortable or being hurt or scared would you like to show our friend what to do it's important to remember that you always have the right to say no get away tell someone say no get away tell someone say no get away tell someone and sometimes you got to [Music] yell have you got it have you got it I think so say no get away and tell someone and sometimes you need to yell I think he's got it I think he's got it well it seems to me you really know how to say no but do you think you could yell and scream if you had to I think so let's give it a try let's pretend that someone is bothering you and following you around even though you said no to them let's hear your yell wait a minute wait a minute you call that a yell you've got to yell like you mean it from deep down inside let people know what's going on help I don't know this man and he's following me now that was a yell you did very well I think you know what to do with strangers but what about people you know what about touches and hurts touches and hurts oh did I hear someone say touches who are you my name is Olivia and I just love hugs don't you I like hugs a lot but sometimes my uncle hugs me too hard and he took Les me too much and I don't like it at times like that you've got to remember the rules you could say don't do that I don't like that that's right because your body is yours and no one has the right to touch it in a way that you don't like nobody now there are many kinds of touches there are good touches and bad touches oh the kind that are uncomfortable or hurt and leave bruises and then there are confusing touches and everything in between but it's up to you to decide what feels good to you and what doesn't you need to listen to that little voice inside that says uh-oh and if something doesn't feel good you know what to do say no get away and tell someone but what if I tell and they don't believe me then you keep on telling and telling and telling until somebody does oh but what if I'm not sure if the touch is okay trust that uh-oh feeling inside if you tell an adult that you trust they can help you figure it out and speaking of feelings they can get hurt too you have the right to use the rules whenever anyone pushes you you around or hurts your feelings you mean like a bully exactly you have the right to say no get away and tell someone now then there are other kinds of touches that are often of the confusing kind that's when someone wants to touch your private parts or wants you to touch theirs what are private parts private parts are the parts of your body that are covered by by a bathing suit no one has the right to touch you there or try to trick you into touching them and I'm not just talking about strangers you could have a problem like this in your very own home and if you do you know what T do right say no get away and tell someone but who should I tell adults that you trust like your mom or your dad or your teacher or your grandmother or or your neighbor or your principal or your best friend's mom it's people like this that make up your very own personal support system they're always there to help you but it's up to you to tell them if you have a problem and it's especially important to not keep secrets that you're uncertain about you mean like a birthday present no no no no no no no that's a surprise something you wait until a special time to share a secret is different a secret is something you're never supposed to tell but secrets about things that are hurtful or scary or confusing secrets about things that give us that uh-oh feeling these are bad Secrets the kind that we should always tell to a trusted adult so we can be safe and happy come here I'm a secret you better keep me in here and not tell anybody cuz if you do your mommy won't love you anymore and something bad might happen to your puppy how do you feel this is scary I don't like it when in doubt remember the rules remember what to do I know I should tell but he said my mommy won't love me anymore that's easy to say but it's not true telling is the answer you you know what to do there's my Uncle Bob well what are you waiting for Uncle Bob Uncle Bob Fus how are you I have a secret that I want to give you because I'm scared wow you told an adult what a relief I'm glad you told me don't worry I'm going to take care of it that was very good you did the right thing you remember to use the rules even though it was scary you've shown that you're too smart to let anyone hurt you or touch you in a way that doesn't feel good you've shown that you know what to do say no get away and tell someone sometimes you need to yell but what if it's your fault Ah that's simple it never is huh if someone older is hurting you
