Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2763

Tonight's special guest is Robert Kahn from Fernley, Nevada, who will introduce us to his children's safety book series. Currently there are eight (8) books, developed these books from his Children's Safety Program which he taught as a D.A.R.E. Officer with a County Sheriff's Department. "Over my sixteen (16) year career" he says, "this program saved 44+ children from abduction." He goes on, "I was a 6th Grade Teacher and a Reserve Deputy Sheriff. I became concerned with the problems plaguing young people. I was offered the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) position in the county I taught in. I was driven to prevent children from making the wrong choices, so I changed careers from teaching to law enforcement." It was a wise decision. "Considering the data on child endangerment, it is abundantly clear that more proactive education is needed. My books are written in a friendly way and explain how children can be safe when they aren't with a trusted adult. The themes include: Stranger Danger, Bullying, Good Touch/Bad Touch, Don't Hide Abuse, Suicide Prevention, Children Coping with Divorce, Bicycle Safety and Halloween Safety." Robert concludes, "Children would know what to do in dangerous situations before they are victimized. To be forewarned is to be forearmed!"
