Internet Safety Printer friendly version of all 11 safety issues, about 8 pages   Safety Issue 7: Staying Safe in PUBLIC PLACES Vary or change any routine your partner may be familiar with. Change your grocery stores, banks, day care, etc. Run errands during the busiest times, and avoid being alone in an isolated place. Ask someone you trust walk you to and from your car. When possible take someone with you to avoid being alone. Carry a safety whistle to alarm others if you are in danger. Take a self defense class. Program the police, 24-Hour crisis line or a relative or friend on your cell phone. Keep it with you at all times.
