MBF 5 Safety Rules

The MBF 5 Safety Rules© are taught to children and teens in all MBF Prevention Education Programs. The Safety Rules are strategies designed to help children, teens, and adults identify and respond to abuse, bullying and other types of victimization.
Why do we need Safety Rules?
Being a child or teenager today is exciting with technology and opportunities. It can also be a scary time, with new challenges and safety concerns. In reality, 1 in 5 children will be abused or harmed in some way before they turn 18.
Abuse, bullying, cyberbullying, digital dangers, online exploitation, and human trafficking are all very real dangers in our world. And none of us can ever think, “It won’t happen to me,” or “It won’t happen to my child,” or “It won’t happen in my school or community.” The reality is, children and teens are victimized every day, in every community, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, family status, or anything else.
No matter who you are, the 5 Safety Rules are strategies that can protect children. Kids and teens can use them to know when a situation or person is unsafe and how to get help from a Safe Adult. Parents, educators, and other adults can use them to communicate with kids and to help keep them safe.
