National Child Safety Advocates Partner With We Published That, L.L.C. to Write the Follow-Up Book to The Authority On™ Child Safety

Authors of the bestselling book, The Authority On™ Child Safety: How to talk to your kids about their personal safety without scaring them, Gary Martin Hays, Adam Weart, and Mary Ellen Fulkus have teamed up with Richard Swords, one of the highest ranking Krav Maga instructors in the US, to create the follow-up book in the series that will focus on teaching personal safety.

Atlanta, Ga (PRWEB) 

The Authority On™ Child Safety, was published late last year and quickly achieved bestseller status on Amazon.com, even reaching #1 in the “Personal Safety” and “Health” categories. The book focuses on helping parents and caregivers start the conversation with children about their own personal safety in a non-threatening way.
The forthcoming book, The Authority On™ Child Safety Part II: How to TEACH your child about their personal safety, will act as a manual for parents and caregivers to follow when teaching children about personal safety. The book will cover topics ranging from “dialing 911” to “self defense in the event of an emergency.”

Richard Swords was asked to provide his expertise in this book, given his background in self-defense and child safety empowerment. Richard has trained thousands of men, women, and children in the art of self-defense and protection. He is a Krav Maga Black Belt Instructor, 1 of only 6 instructors in the United States certified by the Wingate Institute, the National Sports and Olympic training center for Israel, the home of Krav Maga. Richard is also a certified KMA Force Civilian Law Enforcement Instructor, Cross Fit Instructor, and 4th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, with 25 years of experience in Martial Arts.
Krav Maga is based on simple principles and instinctive movements. This reality-based system is designed to teach real self-defense in the shortest possible time. It teaches to defend against common chokes, grabs, and bearhugs, as well as weapons such as guns, knives, and sticks. Just as important, it teaches people to function during the stress and shock of a sudden, violent encounter.
“Richard brings an amazing knowledge base to this book given his background, but he also genuinely cares about helping kids,” says Gary Martin Hays. All the authors from this book have agreed to donate 100% of the royalties to “Lets Protect Our Kids,” a child safety initiative.

The Authority On™ Child Safety Part II is scheduled to be published mid-2013 and will be available in paperback and in e-book format on Amazon.com.

Wisdek Launches Campaign to Help Find Missing Children:






Wisdek Launches Campaign to Help Find Missing Children


Wisdek, a leading online marketing agency, is partnering with Missing Children's Society of Canada for a holiday drive. $50 for every new campaign activation commencing in the month of December will be donated to the organization to help find missing children.








Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) 
To help the Missing Children Society of Canada with their goals, Wisdek, a leading online marketingagency, will be  donating $50.00 for every new campaign activation starting December 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Together, the two best-in-search agencies will team up to re-unite families for the holidays and throughout the year.
Last year alone, there were 46,718 reports of missing children in Canada as recorded by the RCMP. The breakdown of the reported cases of missing children in 2011 are 25 by Strangers, 145 by Parents, 33,259 by Runaways, and 13,289 considered to be 'other'. Currently MCSC receives 2-3 calls per day or approximately 800 calls per year from searching families wanting to register new files for their missing children.

The numbers are staggering, but there is hope.
The Missing Children Society of Canada has been actively reuniting families since 1986. Their activity involves close work with municipal and federal police agencies both nationally and internationally while conducting front line, hands-on investigation and search activities.
Today's statistics show that MCSC successfully reunites an average 3 families per week. This December, Wisdek will strive to drastically increase this number and will invite other local companies to follow suit.
As a service Wisdek has always excelled at connecting consumers with business using Google Search as an advertising platform. This holiday season, they want to do more.
“This all starts with awareness. Entire families are impacted by these tragedies.” says Vadim Kirichenko, Vice President of Operations at Wisdek.
“Gaining awareness requires networking, administration, technology, family support systems, media connections, and much much more. Members of the MCSC are passionate. It is up to us to provide the means to allow them to perform this invaluable contribution to society, and to reconnect families.” adds Eran Hurvitz, Vice President of Sales at Wisdek.
Wisdek is a leader in the online advertising industry, but at it's core it is also comprised of fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. The initiatives of the MCSC are tremendously valuable, and Wisdek deeply connects with the efforts of this organization on a personal level.
Regardless of religion and social background, the holidays are a time for celebration. Family is a central component around the festivities, and we urge you to consider all of the missing children and the incredible amount of resources required to facilitate reunions.
An internal Wisdek review finds that the company has substantially gained both physically (new staff, new locations, and new services) and fiscally over the last 5 years and wants to give back. Rather than re-distribute profits internally, Wisdek wants to send a clear message about corporate social responsibility.
On December 11th, 2012 Wisdek released this statement;
“This December, remember what really matters.
Your customers need you, and these children need their families.
Together we can make a difference.”
This is a timely demonstration of how corporate responsibility combined with industry expertise and passion can result in great things.
