"One of the huge obstacles to child safety is the fear inherent in parents. Child Safety 101 is a perfect vehicle to overcome this formidable hurdle. I recommend this modern approach to child safety to parents who are having difficulty getting their arms around this important issue."
--Marc Klaas, Klaas Kids Foundation
"If every parent in America uses the lessons in Benny Mares's Child Safety 101, we could put child molesters out of business overnight. This is a down-to-earth, practical guide that could save your child's life."
--Chuck Whitlock, Award-Winning Investigative Reporter
"Parents--don't assume you know all there is to know on helping your child stay Safe! Even after thirty years of working with children and families, this book contains many practical and wise ideas that I never thought of on how to teach your child to have a 'learned instinct' to avoid the dangers from increasingly savvy predators."
--Laurel Hines, L.C.S.W., Child and Family Therapist
"Caretakers of children, should it be parents, relatives or foster parents, need to be aware of the ways they can keep their children safe. This handbook gives very simple, detailed instructions on ways to protect your child while not creating a 'world of monsters.' If parents provided the necessary protection for children, there would be less need for government protective agencies."
--Sharon Gustafson, MSW, State of Oregon Child Welfare, Supervisor, Retired
"This is a book I think every mother and father should read and read again. I’m giving a copy to each of my children, who are now parents with toddlers of their own, because I think by following the rules Benny Mares has outlined my grandchildren will grow up safely."
--Gerrie Wetzler, Retired Elementary School Teacher
