When scrolling through social media, you must take what you read with a grain of salt. Some people will try to start arguments, spread rumors, or relay false information.

Some posts are alarming and need to be taken more seriously. They can remind us to always prioritize safety, not just for you but also for your friends and family.

I recently read a post from a server who was stalked by someone who frequents her workplace. The situation became more serious as time passed, and she seemed to fear for her safety.

When I read stories like that, I think about my wife, sisters, and nieces when they are traveling or out and about by themselves and how important it is to consider safety and refresh the thought of being vigilant.

Wyoming is a notorious state for missing people. The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation has a page for the public to view a list of missing persons. The list includes 85 names, some dating back to 1974.

The Facebook Group 'Missing People of Wyoming' was created five years ago and is currently 34,749 strong. It aims to inform the public about missing people and help families and friends if a loved one goes missing. 

If you've followed either of these pages, you know how scary it is when a loved one goes missing. So, taking extra steps to ensure your safety is worth it. If you aren't a group member or aren't checking the DCI website, you should look into it.

It only takes one mistake to change your course of life. If you encounter a situation like the one the social media poster described, just a few habits may be enough to keep you safe.
