This is the only video I remember my school playing.  I read the Steemit Education homework and my first thought was but we didn't haven't video at school, what can I submit as homework?

But from somewhere in the recesses of my mind came the words "Charley says..." and a lot of mad meowing, so I looked it up on YouTube and there it was in all its technicolour glory! 

Looking back on it, it is rather hilarious (I think).

(Although it says it was made in the 70's, I just like to point out I was an 80s child)

It conveys the important message:

<h2> Never Talk to Strangers</h2>

Personally, I think I may have taken the lesson too far though, as I barely talked to anyone, as strangers are everyone at first, before you know them.

For the noughties generation I have to say that I really like Pattie Fitzgerald's [Safety Ever After tips](http://safelyeverafter.com/tips.html), which replace the word "stranger" with "tricky people" and gives good usable advise on teaching children about what kind of behaviour is inappropriate from another child or adult.

It was a great relief to this advice work in real life for a family in Utah, where the Mum had an emergency hospital appointment, which she had to attend with her 4 children.  The two youngest went in with here and the 8 and 10 year old stayed outside, as a neighbour was going to pick them up in about five minutes to take them to school.

It so happened that the neighbour took 40 minutes to arrive and in that the two boys were approached by a female and two males who asked them on a number of occasions throughout that time period to help encourage the boyfriend to come out of the bathroom to get some treatment:

>“Please? You could really save his life if you’d just go in that bathroom and tell him it’s safe to come out.”

The boys stood their ground and said "no, thank you", every time.

Later, when asked why they said no thank you, they said:

>“Mom, I knew they were tricky people because they were asking us for help. Adults don’t ask kids for help.”

You can read more about their story here: http://timewellspent.today/the-tricky-people-concept-and-how-it-saved-my-boys/

OMG, I felt for that Mom and immediately set about telling my own two daughters about tricky people.

I know if I had received that information as a child, I might have known that tricky people aren't necessarily strangers, but could also be family members. 

(Sorry funny turned into serious)
