From Scott Rehmann
McLeod County sheriff

May 25 is National Missing Children’s Day. I encourage parents to take 25 minutes to talk to their children about staying safe in our communities.

What are the most important things parents should tell children about safety?

1. Always check first with a parent, guardian, or trusted adult before going anywhere, accepting anything, or getting into a car with anyone.

2. Do not go out alone. Always take a friend with when going places or playing outside.
