According to child safety expert and LAPD officer Tony Newsom, 95 percent of all currently taught safety tips are obsolete. So how can parents keep kids out of harm’s way? Newsom will clear up the myths and misperceptions that abound regarding child safety.

Newsom’s mission for his entire criminal justice career has been to educate parents, teachers, school officials and kids on the most current and up-to-date safety tips — tips for today’s world, not Mr. Roger’s warm and fuzzy neighborhood of yesteryear.

With tremendous energy, enthusiasm and real world experience, Newsom will:

• Teach audience members how to think like a cop.

• Demonstrate how to keep children safe from abductors.

• Tell what predators look for when targeting a child.

• Dissect real world crime scenarios and demonstrate what should been done.

• Reveal 5 things every parent must immediately teach their kids about dangers online.
