Code Amber Kids - Safety Through Education

According to the National Center for the Missing and Exploited Children there will be over 58,000 non-family abductions this year and 1 out of 5 girls and 1 out of 10 boys will be sexually abused before they even reach adulthood.

Safety N.E.T. Kids (no easy targets) is out to change these statistics all over the country.

Our goal is to raise the awareness of children through the national distribution of our one of a kind video and to reach out into communities through certified instructors (click here for a list of certified instructors) and teach child safety seminars that are both fun and educational for children.

Glenn Olson, founder of Safety Net Kids, and the producer of the Safety NET Kids video, started in January of 2003 with a unique idea of producing a fun child safety video that children would want to watch over and over so as to reinforce good safety habits. It was the goal of Glenn to do this in a way that didn't promote fear in children but to instill confidence. This was accomplished through certain teaching methods, which empower children. Safety N.E.T. Kids is endorsed and praised by Code Amber, psychologists, child advocacy groups and law enforcement agencies throughout the United States.

Glenn is a 5th Degree Black Belt, certified instructor with the American Taekwondo Association, one of the largest martial arts associations in the United States. Glenn has taught martial arts to children and adults full time since 1988 and currently owns 2 martial art schools in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Thanks to Code Amber, the Safety Net Kids video and the Safety Net Kids Seminar Program will be made available to children all over the country!

Here are some comments about the Safety Net Kids Program.

"You should really be proud of this piece of work. I very much enjoyed it, as did my daughters. I think you made a video that incorporated incredibly sensitive material in a way that is entertaining and non-threatening. My wife and I are psychologists, so we are highly attuned to the needs of not overwhelming children or stirring up excessive anxiety. Thanks for your product and investment in such a worthy cause.

As a member of Tennessee's Senate Education Committee, I have had the opportunity to take part in much discussion and debate as related to the importance of School and Community Safety for our children. The Safety Net Kids production is clearly the best, most concise, approach toward educating parents and their children……..This tape will no doubt save lives…I have taken the time to personally watch this tape with my entire family; and I would like for each school and PTA Association in my Senate District to have the opportunity to view this tape as soon as possible. On behalf of the State of Tennessee, I want to thank you for caring enough about our children to produce this extraordinary tape".

"This video is a dynamic tool used to educate children and adults on a variety of safety issues. We are thankful that you were willing to produce such an important and useful tool for professionals working with children. We plan to use this video to reinforce safety issues with the clients we serve.
