Hansen takes readers deep into the world of child
predators to show what we can do to protect ourselves and
our families.
Police sergeant Rick Woody thought he was doing everything
in his power
to protect his thirteen-year-old daughter, Kacie, on and off
line.
He kept the computer in the living room facing out, he sometimes
checked her chats and e-mails, and he made sure Kacie knew
not to give
out her address or any other personal information. But
neither Kacie
nor Rick knew that her "seventeen-year-old" friend Dave from
California
was actually a forty-nine-year-old child predator until it
was too
late.
Such victims inspired Dateline to
create the "To
Catch a Predator" series that investigates online predators.
Now,
correspondent Chris Hansen shares the many stories of the
victims who
have motivated him to speak out.
These are stories of
parents, children, wives, and families, who have had their lives
shattered by child predators. Their accounts expose the twisted
psychology and workings of men who prey on children and
teens, how they
manipulate their victims and their loved ones, and the way
they've
destroyed children, families, and communities. Hansen also
explores
effective punishment and treatments to stamp out the crime.
We live in a new online world where the time-tested rules of
parenting
no longer sufficiently protect children. See the real
dangers facing
teenagers today and learn what you can do to keep them safe.
To Catch a Predator takes you beyond the
broadcast into a shadowy world that every parent needs to
understand. Inside the pages you will find:
* What
motivates child predators and how they choose their
prey. * An in-depth look at child victims and what made
them targets. * What happens to families who suddenly
discover they are living with a child predator. * What
detectives, therapists and child predators feel are the best
deterrents and treatments to prevent this crime. * What
parents must do to protect their kids online, what sites to
block, and what software to get. * And, most important,
how parents can talk to children about on-line safety
WITHOUT scaring them.
