A former child's perspective

I am now in my 30's, but I actually persuaded my parents to buy me this book when it came out in 1985. Having grown up in the era of Adam Walsh's kidnapping, I was probably a little more interested in "stranger danger" than your run of the mill ten year old. I remember pouring over the scenarios in this book, and putting some of them to use - such as having a secret word that a parent would have a person say to the child if they were allowed to pick the child up from school or an activity (like "pineapple") It is very age appropriate for a child around nine to twelve, because it has a lot of photographs that illustrate the scenarios. I grew up to become a police officer, so I am still obviously still interested in crime. I think it is important for parents to discuss potential scenarios involving strangers with their children, in order for the child to formulate a plan of what they would do if confronted with such an event.
