CHILD PREDATORS

SANTA GRABS GIRL

A man dressed in a Santa suit grabbed a 12-year-old girl walking to school about 7:30 a.m. today, police said. Anthony Russo, in a Santa costume, came out of the bushes and told the girl to come to him. She ignored him and continued walking. Russo followed her and grabbed her arm. She pulled away. Russo grabbed her again. She yanked free again and quickly walked away. He continued to follow. ... She went into a store and told the owner what had happened. Russo ran off and got on a bus. Police found Russo, still wearing the Santa suit, carrying a sack filled with candy canes, a large box of candy canes and a unicycle with bells and decorations on it.

ANSWERS:

First: child predators are lurking all around us as shown in Child Safety - Molesters. See www.SexualOffenders.com for a shocking list of sex offenders in your area. Search your entire metro area – they travel, you know.

Second: NO child should be alone off her/his own property until maybe their mid-teens. Perhaps a bit younger if they’ve attended at least two or three RadKids.org sessions. Please see Child Safety - Recap (in the bottom 1/3 of the page) for more details of the wonderful RadKids.org program.

Third: fortunately, Old Sick Nick chose a child too old to still believe in Santa. This Christmas tale reminds us that child predators will go to any length to attack a child. Let’s hope no softheaded judge goes easy on him. Sentencing Russo to 100 years would be a nice Christmas gift to the public – and making him wear his Santa suit in prison. Ho Ho Ho.

Teach your kids the lessons of child predators in Child Safety Outdoors. See the menu on that page for how to prevent all crimes against children, especially child sexual assault and child kidnapping at Child Safety - Kidnap Escape.

Also, a 12-year-old girl is old enough to start learning the teen and adult tips in Outdoor Safety - Overview, Outdoor Safety - Friendly Predators, and Outdoor Safety - Facing Danger.

You’ll find Pepper Spray, Devices, & Weapons (including noisemaker alarms) at Security Products - Personal Devices.
