One of my most significant contributions to child safety is the creation of CAPE, which stands for Children Anti-Predator Education. The name CAPE was chosen to reflect the idea that parents are the true cape wearing superheroes in their children's lives.

For Parents

Parents Are the Cornerstone of Protection

CAPE recognises that no program works without the parent. That is why it provides you with tools that are just as important as the ones your children learn.

01
Predator Recognition
CAPE teaches parents to recognise the subtle red flags that often precede danger, enabling you to act before it is too late.
02
Unbreakable Communication
It guides parents to foster open, honest dialogue with their children, building a foundation of trust that predators cannot penetrate.
03
Safety Coaching at Home
CAPE equips parents with strategies to coach their kids at home in physical, mental, and emotional safety skills, and to make it enjoyable.

CAPE is not about paranoia. It is about preparedness. It is about empowering families to navigate the world with confidence, leaving predators to face a generation of fearless, unyielding young people.

A Personal Message

What You Must Do Now

I commend you for taking this vital step toward securing your children's safety. Even though talking about sexual assault and child molestation is tough, it is necessary to do so often in order to adequately protect our kids. Child predators often target those they know, and the statistics are indeed alarming.

In the United States alone, 1 out of 3 girls and 1 out of every 10, and according to some sources 1 out of every 5 boys, experience sexual assault by age 18. These are shocking numbers, and they demand our attention.

Child predators are not confined by borders, communities, or any other factors that might give us a false sense of security. They are opportunists who seek their next victim. By taking the initiative to educate yourself and your family through CAPE's personal safety courses, you are actively working to keep your children and family safer.

I look forward to joining forces with you and serving you and your children to the best of my abilities. It is an exciting and deeply honourable endeavour to be your Personal Safety Coach.
