Spring Into Safety-Exploitation & Abduction Prevention

40% of DuPage counties 328 registered child sex offenders live within minutes of our children…statistics have shown there is a high rate of re-offense.

How Do We Protect Our Children?

Spring Into Safety is an annual program that is offered for FREE and includes hands-on education and awareness designed to keep our children safer from abduction and exploitation. 2011 marks our 8th year offering this program to Lisle and surrounding communities. Program schedule is in final stages of planning. Watch for additional details here on Patch and through your childrens school.

 All children and teens are encouraged to attend. Programs should be attended with an adult/parent to continue home instruction. Parents of children who are latchkey, walk to or from school/busstops alone  are strongly encouraged to attend. These tend to be the most vulnerable children for predators.

The statistics are startling.

Each day, children throughout our country are at risk.

Did you know? In one year…

797,500 children are reported missing?

That breaks down to 2100 per day…

168,290 are runaways (also at risk)

203,000 are abducted by family members

198,300 were involuntarily missing, lost or injured

58,200 were abducted by non-family members

That is approximately 5 children in the time it took you to read those statistics alone.

Knowledge is power.

Understand the risk so that you can limit it.
