“I spent 18 years watching what happens when the conversation never happens. I worked cases involving grooming, predators, and child exploitation. I read the messages between predators and children that most parents never see. In almost every case, the warning signs were there. The tools to recognize them usually were not. This book is those tools.”

Brandon Browning — Former Detective & Founder, Keep Them Close
