Do not linger.

Do not love.

Do not cross the line.

Do not photograph.

Do not film.

Do not drive.

Do not pull over.

Do not go to the doctor - a doctor will be provided.

Do not drop your children off at school.

Do not pick them up, either.

Do not walk your children to the bus.

Do not walk at all.

Do not help a stranger.

Do not have eyes, a head, a heart.
