How many times have you as a parent felt that sudden, sickening lurch in your stomach when you thought your child was missing...and the overwhelming rush of relief when he or she was found? We live in scary times, and reading Sergeant Giammarinaro's book helps reduce that gut-wrenching fear, because it gives parents the tools they need to prevent their children from becoming victims to a predator. Parental responsibility does not end with just reading the book, however. You have to read it, put the tools to use, explain them to your child, and practice, practice, practice abduction scenarios with your child. Don't assume your child knows how to stay safe. Buy this book and make sure - you will not be sorry. I know. My child is safe today because I used these tools.

Law enforcement veteran Sergeant James Giammarinaro presents Parents, Predators, and Prevention: the Complete Guide to Keeping Your Kids Safe and Confident, a straightforward guide to protecting children from sexual predators, and especially, teaching children to protect themselves. Chapters give a basic grounding in how to "password-protect" one's children (choose a code word that only the parent and child know, and drill into the child that he or she must never go with someone who doesn't know it), self-defense strategies, what children should do if they're at home without an adult (lock all doors and windows, never answer the door for anyone, never answer the phone unless the machine picks up and it's a parent's voice), the dangers of internet predators, and much more. A final chapter offers additional tips for adults to staying safe, such as watching for vans and cars that pull up next to the driver's side of one's own car, especially in parking lots - this is a favored ploy of rapists seeking to abduct women as they try to enter their own vehicles. An absolute "must-have" for all parents; reading Parents, Predators and Prevention could easily save the lives of one's own children.
