Stranger danger is the danger to children and adults, presented by strangers. The phrase ''stranger danger'' is intended to sum up the danger associated with adults whom adults/children do not know. The phrase has found widespread usage and many children will hear it during their childhood lives. Many books, films and public service announcements have been devoted to helping children remember this advice. The concept has been criticized for ignoring the fact that most child abductions and harm result not from strangers, but rather from someone the child knows. ==Proposition== Although there are other dangers such as kidnapping for ransom, the main threat with which stranger danger campaigns are concerned is sexual abuse. In recent years, the emphasis of such campaigns has shifted somewhat, in order to reflect the risk of abuse by persons known to the child.〔(BBC News: Abusers targeted in new campaign (June 5, 2002) Latest retrieval November 7, 2009. )〕〔(Say NO!: Protecting Children Against Sexual Abuse )〕 Common phrases children will hear include: *Don't talk to strangers *Don't walk with strangers *Don't accept gifts from strangers *Don't accept food or drinks from strangers *Don't accept candy or sweets from strangers *Don't talk to strangers when they ask for directions, ask you to pet their puppy or tell you a parent is injured or in an accident *If ever approached by a stranger, tell a parent or an adult whom you trust *Don't get into a car with strangers *If you are approached by a stranger near your school, immediately return to your school and tell a staff member〔(NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION: SEX OFFENDER NOTIFICATION )〕〔(Case Management for Missing Children Homicide Investigation ) - McKenna, Rob; Attorney General of Washington & U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

If strangers attempt to contact you using text messages on cellular phones, tell the police, a parent, or an adult that you can trust. *Don't communicate with strangers using e-mail on the computer. If strangers attempt to contact you using e-mail on the computer, tell the police, a parent, or an adult that you can trust. Some proponents of stranger danger propose telling children that it is safe to talk to strangers in circumstances where the child is in danger, such as if the child is lost or injured. In such circumstances, avoiding potentially helpful strangers could, itself, be dangerous. Conversely, other proponents of stranger danger warnings propose teaching children never to approach others without parental permission. This admonishment extends to not entering a car, even if the child recognizes the driver. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stranger danger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
