FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact Name: Robert Kahn
Phone Number: (775) 575-6686
Website: http://robertkahn.freeservers.com
Email: JROKA@att.net
FERNLEY, NV - Robert Kahn wants to keep kids safe - all kids. His entire
career has been dedicated to his love for children and the importance of
their education. Bob holds a Masters in Education; taught sixth grade for
ten years; became a deputy sheriff and is now a D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse
Resistance Education) officer for the state of Nevada. He has recently
begun to publish a series of child safety booklets that are a necessity for
every child in your life.
"Bobby and Mandee's Too Safe for Strangers," and "Bobby and Mandee's Too
Smart for Bullies" are the first two titles in his Children's Safety series.
These first two are told from the viewpoint of his own children, Bobby (11)
as the narrator and Mandee (9) is the main character. His son, Bobby, plays
an even more important, albeit behind-the-scenes, role among Kahn's youthful
audience. Bobby is a high-functioning autistic. He requires that things be
very literal. Kahn uses this point to stress his books' simplicity and
effectiveness with all children. Utilizing education and experience, Robert
Kahn created his books to teach and reinforce basic safety rules to children
of all ages. Concepts are simple, clear and direct. With repetition and
reinforcement from teachers and parents, these books save lives and prevent
tragedy. Kahn wants everyone to be able to use them and he wants everyone
to have access to them.
At a time when Bob began to give up hope of ever publishing this series, a
fellow deputy sheriff called him to extend congratulations and
thanks. The sheriff's deputy told him that someone had tried to abduct a
little girl. This little girl had recently learned "stranger/danger" from
Kahn. But, thanks to his instruction, she knew what to do and got away.
To date, Kahn's methodology has successfully prevented twenty six documented
child abductions in his county alone. It may be an even greater amount than
that, with some incidents going unreported. Within the pages of these
booklets, Kahn gives adults and children the absolutely essential tools to
effectively communicate danger and keep children alert and safe without
being constantly fearful. "With education there is knowledge and with that
knowledge - a power that is insurmountable." says Kahn.
Where to find books by Robert Kahn:
"Bobby and Mandee's Too Smart for Bullies," and "Bobby and Mandee's Too Safe
for Strangers," books are available for individual purchase from Robert
Kahn's website at http://robertkahn.freeservers.com or for anyone who would
like to carry the books in their store at www.FutureHorizons-autism.com.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Austy Nunziata has spent two years pining for her married best friend and about the same amount of time berating herself for it. In fact, she's so adept at trying to stamp out her feelings that she could probably write a How-To guide on the subject. One, move 3,000 miles away from your best friend. Two, get a time-consuming job so you don't have time to think about your best friend. Three, hang out with new friends who aren't anywhere as enchanting as your best friend. Four, get involved with a striking woman who is smart, sexy, caring and, most importantly, available, unlike your best friend. Five, hope the new love interest doesn't find out about your pathetic best friend obsession before you have time to replace it with actual life-altering love.... (Continue reading)
