What can we do to provide a safer, saner world for our kids?
Our children are growing up in a violent world, filled with bullying, school shootings, hate crimes, bloody TV shows and video games, and domestic violence.
In the Line of Fire: Raising Kids in a Violent World includes sobering statistics, anecdotes, and stories that paint a clear picture of the violent world in which we now live.
Every day in the United States:
• Four children are killed by abuse or neglect
• Seven children or teenagers are killed by firearms
• 187 children are arrested for violent crimes
• 1,837 children are identified as abused or neglected, and
• 2,857 high school students drop out
But beyond just portraying the violence, this eye-opening and well-researched book also offers more than 400 commonsense solutions and action steps to stop it, including strategies for law enforcement, school administrators, counselors, psychologists, churches, parents, and others.
For every person who has imagined living in a peaceful world free from hatred, bigotry, bullying, violence, and all other dysfunctional social ills that ruin communities and nations, In the Line of Fire: Raising Kids in a Violent World is an essential and meaningful guide.
