Educate, before it's too late

In this moral-driven tale, Bobby explains to Mandee that some secrets should not be kept--especially those that threaten a friend's safety. Bobby explains to Mandee the concept of "abuse" and then tells a very sad story of a boy who did not tell a trusted adult about his friend's abuse, and what happened as a result. Mandee replies with a story of her own about her friend at school. Together, Bobby and Mandee decide to go to Dad and ask for his advice on how to help Mandee's friend. Author and former Deputy Sheriff Robert Kahn recommends that parents read this book with their children and encourage teachers to share it with the class

Helpful features include:

  • Bobby and Mandee's Abuse Test - an eight-question quiz along with page numbers for each answer
  • 911 Tips for Parents - a guide for teaching kids when and how to dial 911
  • My List of Safe Grown-ups to Call - a blank form that parents and children can fill out together

    • Don't Hide Abuse is fourth in the series of Robert Kahn's Children's Safety Books, following Too Safe for Strangers, Too Smart for Bullies, and Good Touch/Bad Touch.
