Strong Kids, Safe Kids is a 1984 direct-to-video PSA film, hosted by Henry Winkler, that teaches basic skills to parents and children to help prevent sexual abuse and other dangerous situations.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The video features guest appearances from Fonzie, Sol Gordon, Kee MacFarlane, Chris Wallace, John Ritter, Mariette Hartley, and a cast of Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters, including Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, the Smurfs and Pac-Man.[8] [9] [10] [11]
The video was produced in 1983-1984 by Winkler's company Fair Dinkum Productions in association with Paramount Home Video (who also distributed the video), out of concern about the safety of his children.[12] [13] It was available at high schools, music libraries and civic functions,[9] [14] and was sold at children's bookstores and video outlets for $29.95.[15] It sold 75,000 cassettes.[16]
Henry Winkler tells parents how to protect their children, and offers ways for children to recognize and avoid dangerous situations. Fonzie and other celebrities also encourage parents to discuss human sexuality with young children, and children to talk to trusted adults about their problems.[15]
