SUMMARY:Safeguards for Kids Tour - Quakertown PA

In addition to Julie’s presentation\, we will also have mini-talks addressing human trafficking and internet safety for kids. \n\n\n\nJoin us\, so that you can safeguard your kids and equip them with the wisdom necessary to navigate a fallen world. \n\n\n\nThis event is $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Each attendee will receive a copy of Safeguards by Julie Lowe! Read more about Safeguards below. \n\n\n\n\n\nChildcare is not provided at this event.

Visit https://julielowe.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Clark\n\n\n\nrecently retired after a long and distinguished 42-year career serving honorably in the public\, private and nonprofit sectors. John began his career in the public sector serving briefly in the U.S. Border Patrol\, the U.S. Capitol Police and then more extensively he worked for the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) for more than 28 years. John served in many top leadership positions within the USMS. After retirement from the USMS\, John began his private sector career as the Director of Security Operations for the Information Systems and Global Solutions business sector of the nation’s largest defense contractor\, Lockheed Martin Corporation. John finished his lengthy career in the nonprofit sector having retired in April 2022 as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). In his capacity as CEO\, John was the chief child safety advocate for NCMEC and as such helped shape public policy and encourage community action to ensure every child has a safe childhood. John has testified before Congress\, the European Commission\, and EUROPOL as a subject matter expert regarding the global problem of child exploitation. In addition\, John was credited with growing the organization to over 400 employees and an annual revenue base of more than 60 million dollars\, all of which was focused on finding missing children and stopping child exploitation.More recently\, John and his wife became owners/operators of Harvest of Hope Farm\, LLC in Culpeper\, Virginia where they grow produce in large quantities\, 100% of which is donated to regional food banks. John’s roots as the son of a dairy farmer brought his career life full circle where he now once again enjoys the agrarian lifestyle. \n\n\n\nHuman Trafficking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHuman sex trafficking is the exploitation of a person for profit and the trauma it leaves in its wake is devastating. There are many myths associated with human trafficking and those myths distract us from what is really happening to our children right under our noses.  Every day in almost every city in America children are being sold for sex and we can stop it. In this session you will learn what human trafficking looks like in our country and what our response should be. You  We will cover ways to protect children and wrap around those in our communities with specific vulnerabilities. Ending sex trafficking is possible and it all starts with education.  \n\n\n\nOnline Safety\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLike any tool\, the internet and our digital devices can be used for good and ill. Parents and caregivers should be on the front lines to protect children and youth from online threats and exploitation. Learn how to stay alert to virtual dangers and how to put measures in place to keep kids safe online. \n\n\n\nTeach safety\, supervise young children\, review games and apps\, adjust privacy settings\, warn about online dangers\, be alert to signs of abuse\, identify safe adults\, report incidents to the authorities. \n\n\n\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSafeguards\n\n\n\nBecause children are vulnerable\, they need to be protected. After more than two decades as a family counselor\, Julie Lowe has seen how important it is to help parents and caregivers think wisely and biblically about the dangers children face. Instead of living in fear or denial\, parents and caregivers can equip children to assess people and situations and model for them how to live by faith in a world where evil exists. \n\n\n\nLowe helps parents and caregivers teach the safety skills that will help protect their children from mistreatment\, unsafe situations\, violence\, bullying\, cyber-crimes\, predatory behavior\, sexting\, abuse\, and other kinds of danger that they might encounter. The safety skills that are needed at every stage—preschool\, elementary-age\, teens\, and college-bound—are discussed and applied in an age-appropriate way. \n\n\n\nSafeguards provides tools\, skills\, and resources to help when faced with uncomfortable\, challenging\, or dangerous situations. Instead of growing more anxious\, parents and caregivers can grow in a biblical understanding of the type of dangers and issues children and young people might face\, learn how to instill confidence and conviction in responding to new or fearful situations\, and distinguish safe vs. unsafe people and situations.
