The 11-year-old boy lost for four days in a mountain wilderness did just what he had been taught, his parents said Wednesday: He stayed on his trail and avoided strangers, even though they were searching for him.
Which reminds me, there are two books you should check out if you haven't: The Gift of Fear (for adults) and Protecting the Gift (for teens and adults with children). The author is emphatic that you do not teach your children not to talk to strangers. You teach them how and when to talk to strangers. Both books contain lots of common sense safety stuff and info on how predators think.
