Another big problem is that the children who have been moved a lot have trouble with the word stranger because they kids getting moved by strangers to live with other strangers. Some lady comes and says get in my car you'll be safe, live with these people you'll be safe. How do they know?
I've taught my kids to not answer adults in cars or adults that ask them questions when mom or the teacher isn't their. I've taught them where safe houses to go to are, how to kick and scream to get loose, never to go with anyone without asking mom, no matter what the person tells them. I've taught them how to get out of a trunk of a car.
Two of my kids would still go with any stranger at any time. The rest of my kids even early on would come in the house if a car stopped or someone they didn't know approached them.
The one thing older kids in the system do have is good survival instincts That helps.
