FAQ's

What do your programs consist of?

We offer a variety of safety materials for parents and children. While we have a variety of free downloads available for parents, the jewel of our creations is our prevention book series, a collection of children’s books which make it effortless for parents to teach their children important safety concepts. We’ve done the research and the hard work, all you do is read.

Do your programs require any special training?

No. While we do suggest that parents take the time to read the materials we make available specifically for parents, all parents have to do is order a set of our children’s books, grab a book and go. They are designed to give a full safety education in themselves. All parents need to do is grab a book and read it to their child. We do however, encourage parents to also educate themselves, so that their are not any holes in the safety training.

Do your Programs Really Work?

Yes. Our extensive research into child safety issues has allowed us to create methods that will defeat the topic from every angle imaginable. Our children’s books are designed to teach kids the important techniques, in a way that they will retain the information, so they can actually use it in a real situation. Most every safety danger out there is easily preventable, this includes abduction, molestation, and everything else. The trick is simply finding ways around the dangers that arise, and teaching children the information in a way they will remember. Our programs do both, and result in the most effective safety training available. We could not sleep at night if a child was trained in our programs and they didn’t work. As such, you can rest assured, that the only way a child will be educated in our materials and still have something happen, is if the situation was unavoidable to begin with.

You claim that your programs can be successful in anywhere from 70-90 percent of cases, where do you get those numbers?

First off, we have actually tested the resistance methods that we use in our programs, and manipulated them in media for actual situations, in order to re-post them and actually test their effectiveness and the impact that they have on child molesters. We also base it on the overall make up of the molester population. There is not a trick in the book that is not covered in our programs. The only time they will fail is if your child ends up with a molester who is too driven by their urges, that resistance won’t work. However, such cases are very rare.

What if my child were to fall victim to that type of molester?

The methods we used were also tested to ensure they don’t provoke any sort of irrational thought out of the attacker. Many programs train children with forms of resistance, that in our testing, showed a considerable likelihood of leading to panic from the molester, and a much greater chance that the child would be abducted or murdered as a result. If your child happens to fall victim to the lower percentage of the molester population, (One who will continue despite resistance) then your child will be abused. However, your child will tell you right away, the abuse will be held to an isolated incident, and your child can be treated generally with no lasting effects of the abuse.

With the new changes in legislation regarding sex offenders, aren’t my kids safer than they were before?

No. In fact, in many ways the recent laws have had a far reaching negative impact, and have actually made things much worse. Sex offender registries can be useful, but are representative of only a very small portion of the molester population. The increased penalties, only breeds a pedophile population that is even more withdrawn and desperate, which outnumber those caught a couple hundred to one. Recent legislation changes which allow discrimination against sex offenders have only made things worse, forcing them to move around frequently and become drifters in and out of communities. The recent legislation has not had any positive impact on the situation. Moreover, it has actually made things much worse than they were before.

Why aren’t all the children’s books available for free downloads?

Our children’s books are actual kids books. Not coloring books, not booklets, but full color childrens stories, stuffed with beautiful pictures. This makes the files fairly large, and uses up a large amount of bandwidth. This does not make it feasible to offer them all for free download. It is always our intention to make everything we have available to all parents free of cost. If you’ve been around, you’ll have noticed that most agencies charge around $15-20 per publication. We give them for free, and we give you better information than they have. Secondly, we don’t want to overburden parents. Our book of the month program gives them a couple of free downloads each month, which controls our bandwidth needs, and lets them safety train their children over a small period of time. In the meantime, if there is a particular book you are wanting on a particular subject, email us, and in most cases we can get it for you.

Do you receive profits from the materials you sell?

We are not in the business of generating revenue through our programs. It is our goal to offer them to parents free of charge.

I came here because I found out my child was already sexually abused. Do you offer materials to help children recover?

We are currently working on materials to help children recover and put abuse into a healthy perspective after an incident. These materials are expected to be released within the next year. In the mean time, we can lend our assistance and knowledge in the subject, to help you in helping your child recover after an incident. We offer basic information in our sexual abuse prevention book, and are always willing to help parents take the right steps towards recovery. If you fall into this category, please email us at support@keepyourchildsafe.org , and we will be happy to work with you.

I’ve always felt strongly about this subject and wanted to help out, but never known quite what to do. Do you offer opportunities for everyday people to get involved?
