CdA Police Warn Of Stranger Danger

Item: CdA police discuss stranger danger at town hall meeting /Jeff Humphrey, KXLY

More Info: Police say about half of the 18 child luring cases reported here in Kootenai County during the past year have turned out to be hoaxes, but they do feel someone is trying to snatch kids off the streets in Coeur d’Alene and outlying areas in the county. The most recent attempted luring incident happened March 20 not far from Tubbs Hill at the intersection of 12th and Young. A man driving a van stopped two girls on their bicycles and demanded they get in. Police say despite their age, the six and eight-year-olds knew what to do.

Question: Have you talked to your children re: the danger of talking to strangers?
