After many years as a police officer and law enforcement college instructor, I felt compelled to write this book because most of the books on child security miss the mark. They often provide good information but not so good advice. The fact is that “talking” to your child does not make your child safer even if the information you provide is ideal. Children must be “trained”. For example, when testing children who have been told by their parents to never go with a stranger, virtually 100% of children fail the test and go with a stranger. Pedophiles are experts at manipulating children; they do not present themselves as a stranger. This manual, therefore, is for both parents and children so that children can be “trained” about stranger danger, road safety, fires, dangerous chemicals, drugs, cyber safety, etc. Don’t think for one minute that “talking” or “explaining” about safety and protection to your child will suffice…it will not. Train your children how to protect themselves; you will not be with them all the time.
