“It’s important for young people to watch out for each other, and to listen to their instincts,” said Staff Sgt. Mike McCauley.
“If a situation doesn’t feel completely right, trust your instincts and remove yourself from the situation. We encourage parents to continue to have conversations with their teenagers about these tough topics.”
