Good tips
My parents never really told me anything of that sort (aside the very popular "don't accept candies from strangers"), bad experiences in my childhood probably made me become very careful and aware of what goes on around me all the time. I always try my best not to put myself in "dangerous" situations.
I also always make sure to have my car locked when I'm driving. I pay attention to people on public transportation.
I never open my front door to anyone, EVER. Unless I recognize my neighbor voice (I would still check though!)
If someone stops with their car near me to ask indications, I never go close. You can still talk to them and keep a safety distance.
God I must sound paranoid, but better safe than sorry!
I do all these things too but I probably talked to my daughter until I was blue in the face and still do and it doesn't seem to make a difference. You live, you learn and when your young (I'm including 20's here) you don't think about bad things happening.
I learned the hard way. I think that's what made me as careful (or paranoid lol) as I am. I don't know. Maybe if the younger generation would read websleuths they would have a little more fear?
