A comprehensive guide that empowers parents with the knowledge and strategies to keep their children safe from human trafficking and cults.
Our digital age is bringing unprecedented challenges to child-rearing. Predators lurk online and in the real world, exploiting children from all walks of life. Anyone can be trafficked, and anyone can be recruited into a cult. So how do we keep our children safe?
In Taken No More: Protect Your Children Against Traffickers and Cults, Robin Boyle-Laisure warns parents, caregivers, and guardians about the dangers of human trafficking and cults. She offers tips on how to talk to children of any age to make sure they are aware and on guard but not sheltered, and includes an entire chapter devoted to online predatory behavior due to its ever-rising influence. Boyle-Laisure also describes the progressive stages of targeting, grooming, recruitment, coercion, and control and provides warning signs that a child is being groomed.
Drawing on expert insight and full of strategies and resources that readers can turn to for help, Taken No More is a vital guidebook for parents, as well as for educators, law enforcement, law makers, and more. It takes a village to stop human trafficking and cult recruitment, but it starts with each individual—adults and children alike—having the knowledge and awareness to recognize the signs.
