Prevent child abuse, school violence, domestic violence. Julie Federico Children's Services Author www.juliefederico.com

1. Thank you for having me as a guest blogger today. I am children’s
services author. I write about prevention issues for young children.
I have written about child abuse prevention, domestic violence
prevention, friendship and school violence prevention. The two
books I published on school violence prevention were published
through West Bow Press. The Bad Guys and Students Can Help
Keep Students Safe are a must read for every school age child.
These books have the potential to save many lives and belong in
every private and public school. I choose to write these books as
an intervention to the Sandy Hook shootings in December 2012.
Both of these books were written in December of 2012 two weeks
after the deadly shootings. I thought there must be a way to stop
all of the violence? I believe there is. But it does not involve more
metal detectors or formal security procedures. These books teach
higher-level security measures by training students to notice who is
in their school building and changes in classmates behavior. Each
student has a responsibility to become educated about violence
prevention and report information that they believe is dangerous.
Children understand how keep their schools safe, “They tell.”
Tell a teacher, parent, and principal, call the police or tell your
parents. Just tell. Getting children to report suspicious behavior
goes a long way to protecting schools. I believe that educating
children can save lives and deflect further school violence. I hope
to make a significant dent in the school violence epidemic
sweeping our nation. Will you join me?
