While walking home from school you notice that you are being followed by a stranger. Something about him makes you very uncomfortable.

What should you do?

• Look for an adult in open garage or garden nearby.
• Tell the adult that someone is following you and ask him or her to call the police
• Give the officer a description of the stranger, including age, height, weight, and color of hair and eyes. Also mention any unusual articles of clothing you may have noticed.
