The detective said a valuable information packet will be given out to those who attend. The packet contains valu- able safety references, including an age-appropriate skills chart. Those who attend will leave with the tools to help pre- vent child abduction, kidnapping, and sexual exploitation, and knowledge about the safe use of technology such as computers and cell phones. Shingelo predicted that this in-depth presentation will keep audience members on the edge of their seats, as Rob- inson dispels common safety myths and provides skills adults can teach children. Robinson has presented “Measures to Prevent Your Child from Being Kidnapped, Abducted, or Sexually Exploited” throughout the country. He is an expert in this field and has written numerous articles about this topic. He is a police academy instructor who provides training work- shops for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Parent Teacher Associations, and school districts. Robinson has won numerous awards for his work in this field. In 2008, he received the FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award from FBI Director Robert Mueller. Two years ago, he received a New Jersey Senate Resolution from Senator Joe Kyrillos for his work in educating the public about child abductors and pedophiles. Project ALERT is a division of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and is funded by the Depart- ment of Justice and the Adam Walsh Foundation. In the 1980s, six-year-old Adam Walsh was taken from a store while shopping with his mother. He was later found murdered. Adam’s father, John Walsh, became an advocate for victims of violent crimes and hosted “America’s Most Wanted,” which aired on TV for many years.
