The National Center for Safe Routes to School has developed a resources that speaks directly to personal security issues in the context of the trip to/from school. The resource is called Personal Security and Safe Routes to School, and describes strategies such as supervised walking school buses, adult "corner captains" who provide an extra set of eyes along common school routes among other ideas for enhancing children's safety as they travel between home and school.
The focus of the Safe Routes to School Program is to make the routes to school safer for children to walk and bicycle. In the context of 'stranger danger' and sex offenders, potential solutions for creating safer routes include having parents, guardians or responsible adults walk or bicycle with their children to school; working closely with local law enforcement officials; and equipping children with the personal safety skills to minimize risks.
