That goes for parents, teachers, carers, the wider community and the children themselves. Everyone.

It was with that message that Bruce and Denise Morcombe visited St Pius X Catholic Primary School in Dubbo this week.

The story of Daniel Morcombe’s abduction and death is imprinted on the nation’s memory. There are no words adequate to describe that terrible case.

Mr and Mrs Morcombe are committed to educating children about personal safety and raising awareness throughout Australia about the danger of predatory criminals. They are touring schools around the country.

They emphasised three key points for children: how to recognise, react to and report potential dangers and threats. They pointed out to the children “if you think something is wrong, then it probably is”.

The Morcombe’s also advised parents and teachers on what they could do to minimise the risk of internet predators and on the importance of cyber safety.

They wanted the children to go home and delete from social media accounts the name of anyone they did not actually know. All parents should ensure children do so.

The messages are simple but they could save a young life.

We should all fix them in our lives and in those around us. We should practice what the Morcombe’s preach.

We should never let the safety of children slip our minds.
