Innocence Lost has some very good information for the first time parent and their children on the Internet. I recommend this book for any one that has children using the Internet and how to follow to links to protect their children. At times it was a little confusing for the person not knowing the case but does not take away from the value of the great information Ms. Mahoney provides for parents concerning about their safety of children and use of the Internet.

The sad truth about today's world is that it's a very dangerous place to live -- a world where children are at risk of being abused from people they don't know, and from people involved in their everyday lives. It's unfortunate that the author's son and family had to personally experience this danger, but we are grateful that she is sharing her knowledge.

Parents now have a "weapon of knowledge" in the book "Innocence Lost: Protecting Your Child from the Trauma of Abuse" -- a weapon that will give them the tools they need to better protect their children. With this book you'll learn about a pedophile's documented behavior and how they gain a child's trust; online and offline community dangers will be identified for you; and you'll be given safety tips for both you and your children to follow. In addition, "Innocence Lost?" provides a large listing of online and off-line resources relating to child safety.

[..] commends Debbie Mahoney for her involvement in child safety, and highly recommends this very informative guide to their visitors, and anyone who cares about children and keeping them safe. "Innocence Lost?" easily gives you that ability.

This is one of the worst books I've read about child abuse. The content is poorly written and not well organized. On the plus side, it is one of the only books that addresses the dangers of the Internet to children. However, its original content, if properly edited and in a typical type size, would take up about half of an index card. I wouldn't recommend the book unless you don't know anything about child abuse and don't aim to learn much.
