 We must all come to understand and know the enemies of our children. We must come to recognize and realize that predators are among us. It is said that children are the future. If this is true then we must teach them how to not only protect themselves but the future we hope to give them. In this world we are all connected, changing the life of one child can the future for us all.  It is time to stop the tragic loss of the life and innocence of our Children. The Safety Zone  is dedicated to that goal. Today, child abuse and crimes against children  are reaching epidemic proportions. according to the center for missing and exploited children, the sexual victimization of children is overwhelming in magnitude yet largely unrecognized. Statistic show that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be sexually exploited before they reach adult hood. For years the  “Don’t talk to Strangers” or "Stranger Danger" speech has been the standard for child protection. The fact is this only makes your child more vulnerable. Here are only a few reasons why.  The statement is vague, misleading, and confusing to a child. A child's life is  full of new experience, environments, and people, people who are all strangers. Fact, almost all children are victimized by someone they know and trust; Therefore, the  "Stranger Danger" approach is totally ineffective in addressing the specific, type of danger. Additionally, motivated predators can and have overcome this statement in many creative ways; Finally, if a predator confronts your child, a stranger can and may be their only hope.

The "First role of a Parent" is not just to provide form your child it is to teach your child how to provide for itself. You share with your child values, and beliefs, show them love, provide for their needs, give to them your guidance, in the hope that they will not make the same mistakes you did, and when they do you are their to see them through there troubles. You do all this and more in the hope that one day, your child will be blessed with a full and rich life, that their goals and dreams can one day be achieved.  You are their for them in all aspects of life even when they don’t want you their. You not only provided for there safety you also teach them about the dangers of life so they can protect themselves. This is only a brief description of the tremendous role a “parent” plays in a child’s life. It is also the first safety tip. Some where along the way, some so called experts, said children have the right. to privacy. They do.  Only within moral and or ethical boundaries Many have taken a child's right to privacy entirely to far. This has diminished the role of the parents and placed children at greater risk. Parents you have a responsibility a duty to be in your child's business you must know the who, how, what, where, and when, of every aspect of there life. Until the day they are capable of leading there own life. Be a "Parent” one that not only provides for your child but one that educates their child in how to provide for themselves, this includes their personal protection and safety. In-order to do this you must know what is going on in every aspect of your child's life .  The unfortunate truth is that most parents lack the appropriate knowledge to protect their child from the dangers of today. Because they are provided an accumulation of cache phrases like “stranger danger”. Personal protection is a way of life  Personal protection is based on principle, principles that when practiced lead to a safer more secure life. The first step is to "Realize the Dangers" you and your child face for when you do you can than take action. To many of us have the immortal it will not happen to me syndrome, or it only happens in bad places or the don't talk to strangers theory of personal protection. Parents who was the first to realize the internet was a doorway into your child's world, not the police, not the news, not  parents, it was the predator. Because establishing trust is one of the two doorways into you child's world. You must learn to "Recognize" these dangers by educating yourself and your child about the methods used by predators. In the words of the Chinese philosopher Sun-Tzu “Know your Enemy”, and the enemies of you children. There are far too many false beliefs or misconceptions about what is effective. One of which is that providing your child a cell phone some how makes them safer. If a predator can take your child, they surly can take the phone. If you would not have allowed the activity before the cell phone do not allow it now.  The next is "Awareness". When in public places or in private, parents and children must always be vigilante, aware of their surroundings aware of the people in there area, and what the people are doing. Realize one of the greatest danger to you and your child is the one gone unseen. All to often I see parents caught up in the stress of the day, or the moment not realizing what there child is doing remember it only take a moment for a child to be lost forever. Establish a "Continued Specific Dialogue" addressing the topic of predators "Not Strangers"  with your child early and often. Continue to reinforce your training with every new environment and experience. Over 70% of children are victimized by someone they know and trust. Predators will continue to find new and creative ways to enter your child's world. This is the "Nature of the Beast" parents and especially children must be prepared to face these dangers. The internet and many additional topics are covered during our  program. As a final tip for now Phone Safety one more way to help keep your child safe is to stop allowing them to answer the phone. A predator could easily and have posed as a sales person, cold calling to acquire information about the head of household or information about the neighborhood. There are countless ways a predator can use a phone, or the information acquired over the phone, to enter your child’s world. The examples of this are too great to list and predators don't need any more  ideas.  I often hear answering machine messages that say  something along the lines of :
         - Hello! Danny, Gina and the girls can’t come to the phone right now…, or
        - (a woman’s voice says) Me and Kristy aren’t here right now. Leave a message.
These may be cute but they also provide a potential predator with the structure of your home. Answering machine messages should not contain personal information.  Keep them short and to the point.  A simple, “We can not come to the phone, please leave a message.”  Single moms, if you can’t have a male family member or friend record the message for you, consider using the machine’s default robotic voice.  It may sound chauvinistic, but it is your family’s safety you are protecting.  Do all that you can.

The true test of any great society is what it teaches, and how it provides for its children. Today, child abuse and crimes against children  are reaching epidemic proportions. according to the center for missing and exploited children, the sexual victimization of children is overwhelming in magnitude yet largely unrecognized.  For me statistics tend to diminish the profound level of suffering accompanied with the loss or abuse of one child.  For me, one is far to many not to do something about it. Yes, it is true not all forms of abuse suffered by child are preventable. But many can be prevented. Don't we owe it to them, to do all we can. The approach to this problem must be proactive not reactive. For when a child is lost or abused it is to late. "Real" education and training are the keys to securing the safety of our children. Over 10 years of research and a life time of training has gone into the development of our Guide to the zone and in the future our DVD  However, this is only the first step. Our Goal:   Is to be able to provide training to every parent and child. "FREE OF CHARGE"  To achieve this goal we must have access to  ever venue and outlet available. In-order  to educate parents and child in what they must know about predators, and child personal defense. Till, and in the hope that, one day this education and training will no longer be needed. You may ask say to yourself "aren't their programs like this already" or "but my kid already takes karate". To answer your first question. The answer is. "No"  Yes, there are safety  programs for kids but they  fall far short of what is required to protect children from the dangers of today. The proof is in the statistics 1 in 5 girls  1 in 10 boys. As for karate. I have studied and instructed karate and the martial arts for over 20 years. karate classes, are not effective in educating you and your children about what they and you must know about predators. If they where, their would not be a need for  this program.  With your help and support, we can continue the work, we have begun. Self Defense Concepts  is a small company, with a big goal we need the capital investment, resources, production facility's, marketing and distributing network, access to the media outlets, government and private contribution, political and private support. In-order to  further develop, produce, market and distribute our education and training till  every parent and child has the knowledge and ability they must have to protect all of our children from predators.
    S.D.C will continue to do our part. As we continue to work until the day we are no longer needed. What we learn and experience as children defines us for a lifetime. If children truly are the future then their experience will define what the future will be for us all. We can,  we must, stop the tragic loss of life and innocence of our children. There are times in life where we all must answer the call. This time the call is coming from our kids.
