DID YOU KNOW.......
......A child goes missing every 40 seconds in the United States, over
2,100 per day.
......In excess of 800,000 are reported each year, while another 500,000
go missing without ever being reported.
The facts have revealed that a pedophile can come from any walk of life, any economical background, religion, or race. Sexual predators prey on the innocence of children. They feed on the thrill of violating trust. Their aim is to find the perfect game and capture their victim.
They are child oriented, to the point of obsession. Such deviates spend their time watching children, talking to them and evaluating their mind frame.
They play the game slowly.. They befriend the child, play with them and get to know them. They gain their trust, then eventaully violate it.
A child mind doesn't travel in the direction that a predator does. They only see a new friend, who understands and likes to be with them.
Make sure you child gets plenty of positive attention at home. Victims are often children who feel lonely, lacking attention or interaction....
Teach them not to give out any personal information to strangers....
Train your children to protect themselves when you are not with them.... As a parent, we need to educate our children about the world they live in.....
WHERE ARE YOUR CHILDREN?????????
THE CLOCK IS TICKING!
