INTRODUCTION
Family day is an exciting day for kids to run and play on public area such as parks, malls,
and playground. It is the day for bonding and interacting with someone to play. According to the
article of Dr. Lund, D. (2018), the importance of letting the children to play outside is to create a
healthy and cognitive kid to the community and to develop skills and immunity. This explain
why parents are letting their children to engage in public area to grow strong and bright.
But, the child’s security is on risk, there is a certain possibility that some parents let their
child run on loose and socialize with someone and when they get along, abducting a child will go
easy. In an article of Kim, P. (2018) entitled Kidnapping Statistics, there are more than 460,000
missing children each year and those missing children, approximately 1,500 are kidnapped.

anyone they're unfamiliar with. Additionally, parents shouldn't make it seem like all strangers are
bad. For example, "safe strangers" are people children can talk to in a time of need, like police
But if a child is alone and approached by a stranger, that's a different story. Some
stranger are approaching to offer a ride or treats (like candy or toys) or asks for help with a task
(like helping find a lost dog) that are mostly child molesters and abductors but are regular-
looking people this classified as danger stranger, and many go out of their way to look friendly,
predictable, calm, and approach most new experiences in a positive way. A child’s behavior is
