Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 4 National Values Education. In our previous lesson, we learned about Observing Our Neighbors’ Movements. Today, we’re going to learn about Reporting Suspicious Movements.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Identify 2 suspicious movements of people in the neighborhood.
- Understand the importance of reporting suspicious movements to parents and security agents.
- Explain the steps involved in reporting suspicious movements.
Reporting Suspicious Movements
Suspicious movements are actions or behaviors that raise concerns about potential danger or criminal activity. It’s important to be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activities to ensure the safety of yourself and your community.
What are Suspicious Movements?
Suspicious movements can vary, but some common examples include:
- Lingering around: A person standing in one spot for an extended period, especially if they appear to be watching or observing something.
- Going through trash bins: Someone rummaging through garbage cans, potentially looking for valuables or information.
- Paying unwanted attention to houses: A person repeatedly looking at a specific house or dwelling, possibly with the intention of breaking in.
- Hiding or lurking: Someone concealing themselves or acting in a secretive manner, possibly with the intent to commit a crime.
Reporting to Parents
If you notice suspicious movements, the first step is to tell your parents. They can provide guidance and support. Here’s how you can approach your parents:
- Be calm and clear: Explain what you saw and where you saw it.
- Provide details: Include information like the time, date, and a description of the person or people involved.
- Don’t be afraid: Your parents are there to protect you, so don’t hesitate to tell them about any concerns you have.
Reporting to Security Agents
In some cases, it may be necessary to report suspicious movements to security agents, such as police officers or security guards. Here’s how you can do it safely:
- Call for help: If you feel unsafe, call the emergency number for your country (e.g., 911 in the United States).
- Provide information: Be prepared to give the location, time, and a description of the suspicious activity.
- Stay safe: If you are alone, try to stay in a safe place and avoid direct confrontation with the suspicious person.
