Parents wonder how to protect their children when almost every day the news reports another incident of someone in authority arrested on suspicion of child abuse#151;from clergy and teachers to family members themselves. Even law enforcement has had trouble defining the problem and only recently has the Department of Justice begun recording statistics of sexual assault against children. Amid the confusion generated by sensational news reports and uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of child sexual abuse, what can parents do?PIn this straightforward, clearly written guidebook, veteran sex-crimes prosecutor and Los Angeles deputy district attorney Robin Sax answers one hundred questions that she has most often encountered in her fifteen years of experience. From the definition of abuse to the profiles of a predator to how to report an incident and to whom, Sax provides practical, reassuring, and appropriate information.PFor ease of use, the book is organized into six major sections#58;brbull; Recognizing predators#58; molesters, pedophiles, and opportunistsbrbull; Talking to kids about risks and identifying potential problemsbrbull; Recognizing abusebrbull; Reporting sexual abusebrbull; Going to courtbrbull; Healing and moving onPSax makes it clear that protecting children begins with every parent in the home. Parents must view protecting children from the potential of sexual assault as a priority. Teaching children preventive measures should be viewed as important asteaching kids how to dial 9-1-1. PSax concludes by emphasizing that the best defense against sexual offenders is information. Her book provides realistic answers to empower parents and educators, even in the face of one of life's scariest threats.PWHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING#58;PBefore the unspeakable happens to your child you need to read this book. If the unspeakable has already happened YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! PDrawing upon her vast experience as a child sex crimes prosecutor in Los Angeles,�Robin Sax delivers an insightful, detailed and most important book. Sax takes the reader inside the cunning and charming mindset of a sexual predator to reveal just how they manage to get past vigilant parents to their true prey the children. Further, Sax�takes us by the hand and helps us see how to heal from the trauma of child sexual abuse. P"Every question you might want to ask is answered within the pages of PREDATORS AND CHILD MOLESTERS.
