'10 Ways to Watch Out for Pedophiles' is a step-by-step guide for teens on how to recognize signs and situations that might indicate the presence of a pedophile. This guide contains simple, practical, age-appropriate tips on how abusers select, isolate, and target teens and children. This guide will not only educate teens as to how to recognize danger signs, but also empower them to have the courage to tell someone they trust in the event that they have been abused. Though concise with a no-frills approach, the information outlined in this book will ensure that teens are always alert and aware of their surroundings, taking care to be selective on who they trust and allow into their personal space.According to the Survey of Inmates of State Correctional Facilities by the U. S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than half of violent offenders that were past/presently incarcerated had victims age 12 or younger. Eight out of ten convicted sex offenders had committed a sexual assault against a child under 18. This data clearly indicates that children are at an increased risk of falling victim to such offenders, making it even more urgent that teens have the information necessary to take their safety into their own hands. Educating children is the key to keeping them safe from predators, and this book aims to serve as a supplementary tool for parents in starting the sort of dialogues that are necessary to ensure that teens know how to keep themselves and their peers safe from pedophiles.
