Check a helper
before you invite them.
Before a new sitter, coach or family friend helps with pickup, look them up on the U.S. Department of Justice’s free national sex offender registry search. It links registries from every state, territory and many tribes, and the search happens on the government site, so BOND never sees it.
- Search their nameFirst and last name, plus their state if you know it.
- Check the detailsA match on name alone isn’t proof. Compare age, photo and location before you decide anything.
- Trust your gutYou never need a reason to say no to a helper.
A registry search isn’t a full background check, and using registry information to harass anyone is against the law. BOND Live isn’t open yet; see the proposed screening standard on Safety & Verification.
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Know your area,
from the official source.
Many states offer an official search of registered offenders near an address, and some offer email alerts. We point you there instead of showing it inside BOND, because the official map is always the most current.
WHERE SHE IS
Location sharing
made for kids.
For a child who walks home or goes to practice, choose a device made to share a child’s location with her parents.
Apple Watch with Family Setup
If your family uses iPhone, Family Setup lets a parent manage a child’s watch, share location and set Schooltime.
How Family Setup worksWhy not a tracker tag in her shoe?
Item trackers like AirTag are made to find things, not people. Apple says AirTag is meant for finding items, not people, and it can alert a nearby phone when one moves with someone it doesn’t belong to. A watch made for kids does this job better.
Retailer searches are not BOND products or endorsements. BOND may earn from qualifying purchases in the future and will say so on each link if it does.
FOR OLDER GIRLS
Confidence she
carries with her.
As she starts doing more on her own, give her tools and practice, not fear.
A personal alarm
Pull the pin and it sounds a loud siren that can draw attention while she moves toward people she trusts. It doesn’t call anyone or guarantee help, so practice it together and pair it with a plan: who she runs to and who she calls. Check your school’s rules before she carries one, and talk about when it’s right to use. The BOND Safe Alarm is planned; it isn’t for sale.
A self-defense class, together
Taking a class with Dad builds skill and confidence, and it’s a great day together. Look for classes taught by certified instructors that focus on awareness and getting away.
Find something to do togetherAbout pepper spray
This one is a family decision. Laws, age limits and carrying rules vary by state and by school, and many schools ban it. BOND doesn’t sell or link to it. If you consider it, check your state’s law and practice with an inert trainer first.
THE TALK
Safety talks
that don’t scare her.
Short, warm and age-right. Use one at dinner, in the car or on a walk.
Her body belongs to her. “If anyone makes you feel weird or asks you to keep a secret from me, you can always tell me. You will never be in trouble for telling.” Agree on a family code word for pickups.
Online friends are still strangers. “If someone you met online asks for photos or to meet, show me. I won’t take your phone away for telling me.” Practice what to do if she’s separated from you in a crowd.
Trust and a plan. “Text me ‘X’ any time and I’ll call with a reason you have to leave, no questions that night.” Talk about sharing location on her terms, and who she can call if she can’t reach you.
General guidance, not legal or professional advice. Numbers and sites can change, so check the official source. If you ever believe a child is in danger, call 911. To report suspected abuse in Florida, call the Florida Abuse Hotline at 1-800-962-2873. For online exploitation, report to the CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org.
