DO YOU know where your children are and what they are up to right now?
These are the questions police want parents to ask themselves everyday these school holidays.
Warwick police Acting Senior Sergeant Shane Reid said it was crucial that parents and careers kept a close eye on their youngsters over the next two weeks, not only to keep them safe, but to make sure they were behaving.
“These school holidays, we are reminding parents to be vigilant and responsible in relation to where their children are from both a safety and behaviour perspective,” he said.
“If you are letting them go to a friend’s house or the skate park, just be aware of what they are up to,” he said.
Acting Sen Sgnt Reid said it was common to see a small spike in the number of nuisance and damage-related offences during the school break.
For those going away over the school holidays, he said it was important for residents to secure their properties and notify their neighbours.
“It is always a good idea to leave contact details should something occur and get them to call police if they witness any suspicious activity,” he said.
