Kidnap Prevention

On Oct 18th Washington Black Belt Academy will host a kidnap prevention workshop.  Along with King County Police we will distribute important information, safety tips and a FREE child ID kit that every parent should utilize.

A quick look at the statistics is startling;  every 40 second a child in the United States in abducted or reported missing.  That translates to over 2,000 children per day (under 18 years of age) or 800,000 per year.

The rate of reported missing children in the United States is 11.4 per 1,000 (Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children, October 2002; National Crime Information Center)

Please help spread the word about this FREE Community Event scheduled for Saturday Oct. 18th at both the Redmond and Renton Academies.  More info to come!
