Here is a Stranger Danger alert sent out from Humble ISD concerning an incident with a suspicious vehicle near Groves Elementary School earlier this week.
"We want to make you aware of a stranger danger incident that occurred this week. A Groves parent reported directly to Humble ISD Police that on Tuesday, December 18, her child and other students were walking home from their bus stop in the Waters Edge subdivision when they noticed an individual in a white Ford F-150 pick-up truck following them. The students took off running and the truck sped up and left the neighborhood. The students were not able to provide a description of the driver, and nobody inside of the truck tried to approach any of the students.
This is a good opportunity to review the following safety tips:
- Walk to and from school in groups.
- If anything unusual occurs, tell an adult immediately. Time can be critical.
- Never talk to strangers or accept rides from them, even if you are stranded. Call a trusted adult for transportation.
- Be proactive: tour the neighborhood to identify safe and dangerous circumstances and places. Arrange for immediate access to neighbors or other trusted adults who could be contacted in an emergency.
- Don't panic. If you are afraid or have a problem, call a parent or a trusted adult.
- Never tell people at your door, phone callers, or online that you are home alone.
- Keep your house key hidden. Don't give it to anyone and don't keep it in a visible place that would tell people you are going home to an empty house.
- Never get into a car, enter a home, look for a lost pet or person, or accept food or items from an adult, unless your parents know what you are doing or have identified that person as a trusted emergency contact.
- Tell a trusted adult - parent, teacher or counselor - if anyone ever makes you feel uncomfortable. When children are abused, it often is by someone they know.
Please continue to encourage your children to report any concerns to our school staff, Humble ISD Police (281-641-7900) or through the Humble ISD iHelp app. By working in partnership, we keep our school safe and students focused on learning.
