myself, thank you for posting that!!!

The whole post is excellent, but I want to comment on the methods predators use to get to kids. And I should add, this is also how stalkers get to their victims, and predators get to other adults as well, so this doesn't just apply to children. I have seen a number of talk shows in my teens and early 20's that explained some of the methods predators use. I remember a specific episode of Montel Williams where a guest who was a detective showed how predators and stalkers got to their victims. One thing said was that he might go to a neighbor of yours, pretend that he was planning a surprise party for you (at this point, he has gathered other info on you), and asks what your favorite ice cream is, and he can use that info to scare you (because he knows personal information about you), or if he were after a kid, he might say, "My favorite flavor of ice cream is [flavor]," and the kid will be like, "That's my favorite flavor, too!" and he gains a little more trust each time he shares something like that.
