McGruff: Dangerous Strangers

McGruff the Crime Dog® and his nephew Scruff are concerned about the disappearance of a neighborhood child. This sparks a discussion about the definition of "stranger" and prompts McGruff to review practical ways children can stay safe on the way to and from school. The story ends happily when the missing child is found unharmed. The program shows examples of children who face various types of dangerous situations, such as being lured into a stranger's car, and tells young viewers how to respond. To avoid danger, McGruff advises children to walk in pairs, be aware of their surroundings, and stay out of alleys and other dangerous places.
