Predators are everywhere and they can strike at any time--
and they come in all shapes and sizes. More than 1.2 million
families will report child sexual abuse by the end of this
year. Research suggests that many hundreds of thousands more
boys and girls from all backgrounds and of all ages may
experience abuse that is not reported. To keep your family
from becoming part of these frightening statistics, you must
read this invaluable book.Protecting Your Children from
Sexual Predators details everything you need to know and
everything you need to do to keep your child safe. You will
learn how to identify potential sexual predators, how to
recognize the signs of the grooming behaviors that come
before the actual act of sexual abuse, and how to arm your
children with the necessary skills to prevent abuse.Sexual
predators commit the most heinous acts against the more
defenseless members of our society. They often are disguised
as harmless and caring people; they may interact with your
children as their baby-sitters, youth group leaders, clergy,
teachers, coaches, neighbors, medical professionals, and
family members. What these predators hold in common is their
ability to earn the trust of both the children they attack
and their parents. In Protecting Your Children from Sexual
Predators, Dr. Leigh Baker gives you the unique opportunity
to meet these predators up close and to examine:* The ten
most common characteristics they display, such as refusal to
take responsibility for their actions, sense of entitlement,
and the need for power and control.* How they lead their
victims through the five stages of sexual abuse.* The four
types of personalities they commonly exhibit.* How female
sexual predators can gain access to your child.* The ways
that juveniles offend against other children.* How sexual
predators travel the Internet and the many ways that they
can harm your child through cyberspace.* How baby-sitting
can pose a danger to your child if you don't take the
necessary steps to ensure safety.* How to use the sex
offender registry to prevent known predators from gaining
access to your child.By allowing parents to identify sexual
predators before their children are harmed, Dr. Baker takes
the battle to end sexual abuse to the only front where it
can ever truly be won: the home front.
