Our Story
A Problem Rooted From Unawareness
50% to 90% of kids exhibit behaviours that indicates poor street smartness skills. This means that they don't have a prepared response in case of danger. About 43% to more than 60% of teens link with people that they have met through social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. Most people aren't able to identify an trusted adult. In fact, 90% child perpatrators were actually trusted by the victim.
However, most people overlook the importance of educating their loved ones on the reality of stranger awareness.
Our Goals and Purpose
My goal as the founder of Iron Kids United is to walk into a more safe and sound world without having to contain a fear of the unknown. Oftentimes kids can feel overwhelmed when being taught safety that they feel forced to be cautious. But when they are taught in a more nurturing and uprooting manner, they feel that it is their duty to be more attentive when going into the real world. We use 3 steps to do this: Awareness, Advocacy, and Action.
How are we making this dream a reality
We go around schools and teach kids the importance of teaching kids stranger awareness. We create a more hands-on experience by teaching them as well as making them apply themselves using scenarios. We also host a podcast called the Iron Kids United Podcast. On this podcast, we bring on experts in the field to give us their insights on how to live in a safer and more responsible way.
