Someone asked me the other day about what motivated me to write my second book “Father Figure – my mission to prevent child sexual abuse”. My response was that I wrote it because it provided detail information on several topics that would be useful for the general public in assisting to prevent child sexual abuse. Here are some of them:
- What kinds of things can contribute to child sexual abuse
- Importance of background checks on individuals who might be in close contact with the children, and how to do background checks and use internet/facebook for useful, constructive purposes
- What different facilities are available to public for informational purposes
- What kinds of specific and detailed information might be available to public for a previously convicted offender
- Taking the difficult step of informing parents (and other biological relatives) of critical information at the risk of losing friendships
- How does the correction system work for situations associated with a previously convicted offender
- What is the role of a Probation Officer
- What is the role of Law Enforcement when a situation comes up in connection with a previously convicted offender
- How does Law Enforcement work when a number of different counties are involved
