Child Abduction Has Risen by 44%

Sunday, March 17, 2013The Big Idea: Our children are no safer now then they may have been in the 80ʼs, and the decline in our tactics and our education on such matters as child abduction and child abduction prevention is not sufficient as a whole.

All of us here have children, or grandchildren, or nieces and nephews, or little brothers and sisters, or even friends with children, so child abuse and abduction is no light matter, especially when statistics show that only about 1.5 % of abductions are by total strangers. Now do I have your attention?

Sunday, March 17, 2013Why should your audience listen to you? Explain your ethos (credibility). My audience should listen to me because my daughter was abducted from me by her own mother. Also, I was a young boy in Des Moines when Martin and Gocsh went missing, and I live 30 minutes away from where Collins and Cook went missing. My daughter lives only 15 minutes away. This is my only connection to this topic. I am no expert, but I am a concerned parent. I am concerned for the safety of my children as well as yours.
