Kids Come First was created
with the support and encouragement of Mary Conyers of Protect Every Child. Our seminars are designed to bring awareness to
adults and children. We feel that by supplying this information through our program
we would be able to make children aware of the dangers they face when approached by an online predator.
Our Seminar Program:
How can you protect your family from being victimized? Answer: Knowledge is power. Kids Come First volunteers their time to conduct seminars in schools, churches and civic organizations. Our
materials include a DVD, “Safety on the Internet” for children free of charge,
compliments of Protect Every Child. Kids Come First provides parents
with a better understanding of how "Internet Predators" can manipulate their children and the techniques they use.
Our Goal:
To prevent another child from becoming
a victim, once a victim, always a survivor! This is not an elite group that anyone
would want to become a member. In order to achieve optimum results we must spread
the word. We strongly feel that the best way to accomplish this is to reach out
on a personal level to the general public, while working in conjunction with Law Enforcement, providing information and the
opportunity to ask questions. Being proactive in this regard is the only way
to prevent another family from becoming a statistic.
Why We Do This:
Every day on the news more children are becoming victims. Statistically, one (1)
out of five (5) children will fall prey to some form of sexual abuse. How many more children will become survivors
? The staggering number of these crimes is overwhelming. The best way to support our law enforcement in their efforts to keeping our communities
safe is by educating the public on the safety measures that can be taken.
