As fathers, we can’t always be there to protect our loved ones. Gone are the days when parents could find peace of mind in the hope that a Good Samaritan would step in if their child was in trouble. Today, people are more likely to record an incident on their phones rather than intervene. Moreover, the threats we face today are ten times greater than those from twenty years ago. Empower your loved ones. A family that is informed, aware, and equipped with these skills is a difficult target. If they do become targets, it won’t last long because the adversary will quickly realize the risk and move on to someone else. Don’t wait until it’s too late, take action, be resilient. Book today!
