Read what others are saying about Safety Net Kids and our Child Safety Video Series:
Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful tool to teach personal safety to children. This truly is a great program to empower children who are in kindergarten through 5th grade. Children are quick to get involved in the interactive safety lessons and "cool" martial arts. The amount of information given to children concerning abuse, awareness and abduction is appropriate for this broad range of grade levels. The video is especially great for boys. Often times, boys are embarrassed to talk about safety concerning their bodies. The Safety NET Kids video enables adults to introduce dialouge with children concerning these difficult issues.
A therapist here at the Children's Advocacy Center of Sullivan Country spoke of how a boy was very fearful that the perpetrator of his sexual abuse would abduct him. This was a huge concern of his and he was very troubled. The threapist showed the boy the Safety NET Kids vdeio. He was empowered to learn, not only about abuse prevention, but also about how to react if his perpetrator did attempt to abduct him. I would recommend this video to parents, educators, therapists and others concerned with the protection of children.

I recently watched the video "Safety NET Kids." I found it to be very enjoyable, non-threatening tool for informationg children and their parents about how to handle potential safety threates faced by children. The material was presented simply enough to be understood by children, but thoroughly enough so that adults could perhaps become aware of threates they had not thought of.
The martial arts demonstrations, games and humour interspersed throughout are good tools to maintain children's attention. The quizzes are helpful for reminding the children ofimportant concepts and helping the parents to know what areas need additional discussion or instruction.
I would highly recommend this video for use in safety programs with all ages and development levels of children.

As a member of Tennessee's Senate Education Committee, I have had the opportunity to take part in much discussion and debate as related to the importance of School and Community Safety for our children.
The new Safety NET Kids, "No Easy Targets" production is clearly the best, most concise, approach toward educating parents and their children regarding not only the kinds of situations to view as instant warning/danger signs, but in knowing how to react quickly in each instance, as well.
This tape will not doubt save lives. I have taken the time to personally watch this tape with my entire family; and I would like for each school and PTA Association in my Senate District to have the opportunity to view this tape as soon as possible.
On behalf of the State of Tenneesee, i want to thank you and your family for caring enough about our children to produce this extraordinary tape.
Thank you for all that you do for the benefit of the children and families that we both serve.

Thank you for sharing this video with the department. Without a doubt, it is an excellent tool that comprehensively covers aspects of the safety of our children during very vulnerable times. As I have previously discussed with you, my recommendation in terms of this video is to form a partnership with the Department of Education to ensure it has the maximum value and output and reaches the target market. We must make a difference in the lives of our children, particularly through the use of proactive measures for safety and security of both person and home.
I would further recommend that you consider screening this video on the new local "G TV" which can be picked up in the Durban geographic area.
I wish you the very best with your endeavours and offer your my support in trying to promote and achieve better safety levels for our children in South Africa.

I can't begin to tell you the acceptance I get from your programs. Usually in a period of 20 minutes you lose an audience of children, but both programs seem to keep the kids attention and they actually retain the material. I used the No Easy targets program last year with great success. Now that school has started this year I'm beginning the year with the Bullies program.
The No Easy Targets program has brought out some very good questions and comments from the students I've presented it too. Most other programs are just a way for students to spend time rather than study in class. I was alerted to a few students that had problems at home or at a relatives homes that without this program may not have been recognized. Teachers were just as impressed with the No Easy Targets presentation.
As the presenter, I feel very comfortable with this material. Other programs usually leave allot to be desired. With No Easy Targets, the presentation flows easy from start to finish. But like I mentioned earlier, the kids retain the material which I believe is the biggest benefit. I have kids from last year come up to me and recite parts of the program to me.
If I had to describe the No Easy Targets and Bullies program it would be, "It works". On behalf of the parents, teachers and chlidren of my community, we thank you.

Thank you so much for presenting the Safety N.E.T. Kids programs to our students. I have been an educator for fourteen years and have struggled to find a program which is age appropriate and effective. Your personal safety program is the best I have seen. It provides children with the knowledge they need to protect themselves in a way that is non-threatening and exciting. The program is so versatile that it can be used with the youngest child yet holds the attention of older students.
The Bullying program is also exceptional. It is a perfect fit for our students. At this age, children are becoming so social and need desperately to develop the interpersonal skills taught in the program. The students were excited and engaged throughout the program. I believe that our students walked away with a better understanding of themselves and others.
I would highly recommend both programs to both educators and parents. As educators and parents, we have the responsibility to ensure that children are well equipped to handle potential threats. Safety N.E.T. Kids will provide children with the knowledge and skills they need to be safe.
