Hello

1) Before leaving on your holiday remind children about your family safety procedures for dealing with strangers, what to do if they get lost.
2) Keep a recent photo of children handy, also a photocopy of passports kept in a safe place or with a relative that can fax it to you in case of loss.
3) If you label children clothing, make sure the label is inside so strangers are not able to learn child's name.
4) A single parent traveling with children should ensure that permission from other parent is readily available for authorities (this is to prevent one parent abductions). This is especially important for air/train or cross border travel.
5) Always ensure one parent is in charge of keeping an eye on children and perhaps other parent can look after arrangements for travel.
6) Dressing children in bright colors makes them readily visible. Try to remember what they are wearing.

Have a nice day

If the children are good educated and parents are attentive and careful then nothing will gone to happen. There is no reason to worry, because you told your child what to do if something bad will happen, and you should be very careful.

One of the best ways of increasing your personal safety while traveling is to travel with others. If at all possible, avoid traveling by yourself. Not only will you have a more enjoyable trip, but you’re much less likely to be victimized. Criminals are far more likely to target and attack a lone individual than they are to go after a pair or a group. The larger the group, the safer it is. If you’re traveling in a new city for a convention and you’ve got the desire to explore, try to organize a group of several people to go with you. Crime experts say that for every additional person in the group, your personal safety is greatly increased, and the odds of your being victimized are greatly decreased. Interviews with career criminals in prison reveal the same thing – they always prefer targeting someone who’s alone rather than a group of people. The more people they’re involved with, the more work there is, along with a greater likelihood that something can go wrong. So listen to the cops and the criminals, and avoid traveling alone when possible.
