The new Spanish resources are being released just in time for children heading back to school, which NCMEC cites as a critical time in child safety.<\/p>\n<p>A ten-year analysis by NCMEC of attempted abductions and related incidents found that most occurred when children were on their way to or from school.\u00a0The KidSmartz program focuses on keeping the lines of communication open between parents and children, helping children identify trusted adults and avoid potentially dangerous situations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to stop crimes against children before they happen and education is the key,&#8221; said NCMEC President and CEO, <span class=\"xn-person\">John Clark<\/span>. &#8220;In the past five years, 15 percent of the missing children reported to NCMEC were Hispanic with many of them speaking only Spanish at home. With these translated resources, we can help protect more children.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The KidSmartz program, developed by NCMEC in partnership with Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company&#8217;s corporate citizenship initiative, uses videos, music and classroom activities to teach personal safety to children in grades K-5. It was the recipient of the 2016 Teacher&#8217;s Choice Award from &#8220;Learning Magazine.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The program, focuses on four basic safety rules: <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Check First\n<\/li>\n<li>Take a Friend\n<\/li>\n<li>Tell People &#8220;NO&#8221;\n<\/li>\n<li>Tell a Trusted Adult<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Safety is one of the most critical areas of focus for Honeywell&#8217;s corporate citizenship initiatives, and reaching as many families and schools through this program is essential in preventing abduction,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Mike Bennett<\/span>, president, Honeywell Hometown Solutions. &#8220;Offering KidSmartz&#8217;s resources in Spanish fits our strategy to reach an even greater number of communities where conversations about kids&#8217; safety can take place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The KidSmartz materials are available in English and Spanish for free download at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsmartz.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.KidSmartz.org<\/a>.
