PROTECTING THE GIFT

This graphic and gut-wrenching tape stops you dead in your tracks. You listen, frozen in revulsion, as it describes horrific violence against children. The author believes the solution to violence is the acceptance of its reality. DeBecker's philosophy and related rules are designed to keep our kids safe, the most important rules being parents saying "No" and meaning it and kids always being able to talk to parents. He reads the script deadpan, befitting the gruesome subject, sounding like he's dictating an autopsy report. Keep the motion sickness bag handy.
