Preventing Child Abduction: Child Safety Program Teaches Kids How By David M. Bresnahan 9/26/05 |
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Every 40 seconds a
child becomes missing or abducted, but parents can help their children prevent that from happening.
The Vanished Children’s Alliance reports that high statistic; meaning thousands of children disappear every day throughout the United States. Many of those abductions can be prevented, according to Dwight Trower, who has been teaching children and parents for 10 years.
“The ‘Child Safety Program’ is designed for children of all ages and their parents,” explained Trower. “I teach parents how to talk to their children about the dangers, and how to avoid them. The kids learn to identify dangerous situations, how to identify safe places and responsible adults to help them, and how to use their most valuable weapon — their voice.”
Trower has been teaching kids and parents at schools and through community groups, and now he is making his training available to anyone in the country through a DVD and CD program available at
www.ChildSafetyInformation.com.
The “Child Safety Program” goes beyond just teaching kids to
avoid abduction. Every day thousands of school children are victimized by bullies. Trower teaches children some easy to follow techniques to deal with such situations.
Parents report that after learning the methods and techniques taught by Trower their children have greater self-confidence and higher self-esteem.
