A child predator loses his power when he loses his cover. Samuel Learns To Yell & Tell was written to teach children and parents this critical fact. If all children knew that they would be heard and protected when they yelled and told, it would stop most predators from child hunting.
Your children need to know they can come to you at any time and any place, and that you are ready to listen and take action to protect them. They will not understand this naturally; it is your responsibility as a parent to regularly and effectively communicate this message.
Of the reported sexual assaults on children, 90 percent are done by friends or family, and most violations never come to light. Predators are aware that parents are naïve. Predators know parents are thrilled to get a sitter so they can spend time together. He is there waiting for the opportunity you give him. Five years ago, one in four children were molested. The number is growing. As child porn grows rampant, so do the number of young boys and men who are lusting after small children. I remember when the only porn was in a few nasty run-down hovels in the lower part of a big city. Church people prayed for the places to close. Now men rush home from church and indulge on the web. In the last ten years the internet has catapulted us into Sodom and Gomorrah.
Don’t take the easy way out. Only leave your children with people that you are positive are walking in truth and are not planning on having company while your child is visiting. Just to be safe, go to several people who have known the family the longest and ask plainly, “Can you think of any reason why my child should not stay with this person?” Even if you think their answer is crazy, heed it. Better safe than forever sorry.
God promises wisdom to those who ask. This priceless gift is easy to receive. In this evil generation your children need wise parents to safeguard them. So ask for wisdom; ask and ask again and keep receiving more and more.
Most child molesters live out their lives in peace and success. No one ever tells on them, so no one ever knows except the silent broken trail of victims they leave behind. They feel safe because, for all the children they have violated, not one person has ever spoken out.
Someday there will surely be a day of judgment, when every perverse deed will be revealed, and they will face the terror of an angry God. I will be there watching, and I will rejoice “when their calamity cometh.”
Until that blessed day, read Yell & Tell books to your children. Talk about what you learn. Ask questions. Watch for signs of fear or anxiety in your child concerning any friends or family. Our children are given to us to protect and nurture. Tell your children every day, “I love you and want to keep you safe, so always, always tell me anything that needs to be told. I will always, always listen.”
Isaiah 28:10: “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little...”
James 1:5: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
Matthew 18:6: “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

Amen! My parents were the naive ones and I was taken advantage of by a cousin and a grandfather. It is critical to heed to the advise given in this article.

Why are they talking about wearing sweatpants? Do they believe it is ok for women to wear pants?

If one can afford it it would be better for there to be two babysitters or at least someone in the house who is not directly taking care of the kids but there. Like a trusted grandparent or friend .. The point is one babysitter is risky. also a video safe house meaning the new I can see you stuff put into one's home. How about babysitting in a library until the parents come home if its a day time for being away. I am nearly paranoid about this subject We must help children. I am thinking of becoming a distributor of your books . We own a sporting goods store in Pablo MT
Maybe one book display corner with your books. I'm praying about it. Especially for "Yell and Tell."

Don't forget it's not always the neighbor or babysitter... some times it IS the parent.

I was asked about this verse and gave the exact same explanation about using or not using the Gospel. Guess those who have the spirit of God are on the same page.

I bought this for my grandchildren. I was molested by an uncle at a very young age. My daughter noticed at the back of the book it says something about another book for girls. Where can I buy that?

Our family was just at the local library and they are very interested in ordering the "Yell and Tell" books by Debi Pearl. Maybe your local libraries will also order this wonderful resource that can help and encourage families.

what an awesome tip. I never thought of dressing down to travel. I think the idea of wearing grundgy pants is good when or if you have to travel alone. You want to make it difficult for an attacker to get you. It could be kinda hard to run fast in a skirt and it might make it easier accessible to attack/rape. It is good to let people know the danger of human trafficking. Especially for women and young kids. We need to be aware of our surroundings and to teach our children the same thing. I LOVE Pearls of Wisdom. Well shoot I LOVE the entire ministry. Keep it up and know that you are prayed for and loved. 🙂 God continue to Bless and Keep you ALL

I'm a Christian and a police officer. I would NEVER recommend that women travel at night, or stop at interstate rest areas. ALWAYS travel with a male family member (Dad, Brother, etc.) or a trusted male (with his wife, of course). If you need to stop to use the restroom, stop at a well populated stop such as an fuel plaza(avoid truck parking areas), or restaurand or shopping area. And NEVER go ANYWHERE alone. If you need to use the restroom, travel in small groups. Stay safe.

A few years ago, we had a young woman traveling locally, and used the interstate to get to a nearby town. She took the off ramp, was rear ended slightly, and while waiting for the police, interacted with the guy who had rear-ended her. The man kidnapped her, and took her to a nearby town where he sexually abused her repeatedly before killing her. All before the police could arrive. When the cops got there, all they found was her car with the engine still running.
Always carry a cell phone(that's operational), and if involved in a MINOR accident, STAY IN YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS until a MARKED police unit arrives.

My wife reminded me of an incident she was involved in a few years ago when she was working as a waitress. She overheard a guy talking to another person on a cell phone. The man was saying how he was planning on "taking out" the male half of a couple that was in the restaurant as soon as they left. My wife did some fast work to warn that couple and delay the guy on the cell until they could get away.
It's a dangerous world. Grow eyes in the back of your head and don't make foolish assumption and trust people you really don't know.

My mother has given me some great advice when we have been on road trips together. Instead of stopping at rest stations, we find fast food restaurants which are open late and use those instead. That way there are more people around, including employees who are more likely to notice something or someone suspicious.
