The horrific four-hour abduction of an 11-year-old boy in Ranui will have parents worried about how to protect their children from predators.
Here's what you need to do.
• Teach your child how to get safely to and from school and other places they go - whether they walk, bike or go by bus. Make clear rules about getting home.
• Go to school with your child so that you can show them the safest route.
