According to the description of
Child Safety 101, “Is your child a potential victim? Child safety is every parent's first
priority. Retired LAPD officer Benny Mares relates 101+ straightforward safety tips to assist parents in protecting against
child molesters, abductors, and pedophiles. A must-read for parents.”
The Midwest Book Review
said of Child Safety 101, “Written by a retired Los Angeles Police Officer, Child Safety 101:
101+ Safety Tips For Protecting Your Child is an must-read for all parents. Child Safety 101 emphasizes in simple terms how
to teach children from a very young age how to protect themselves - for example, that they should run from any unfamiliar
adult trying to entice them into a vehicle, that they should scream if someone (stranger or acquaintance) tries to forcibly
take them somewhere, that they should never answer telephone surveys or tell callers that "no one is at home". Sample
"what-if" games useful for teaching very young children what to do are suggested. Furthermore, Child Safety 101
never ceases to warn against the perils of leaving children unsupervised, or in the care of individuals who have not passed
a careful background check. The critical importance of self-esteem, the buddy system, specific rules and instructions for
children to follow in a wide variety of situations and much more is repeatedly stressed in this vital guide worthy of the
absolute highest recommendation.”
One reader of Executive Protection: A Professional's Guide To Bodyguarding
said, “Executive Protection" is a short but vital primer for anyone interested in pursuing a career
as an executive/personal protection specialist. In a no-nonsense manner, Benny Mares debunks a lot of the myths surrounding
this growing profession, tells you what skills and experience potential clients look for, and what the pitfalls of the job
are and how to avoid them. A seminal work on a fascinating career.”
