A message from John Walsh: I'm the host of a television show that I wish wasn't needed. But it is. Thankfully, 38 missing children have been recovered by our work at "America's Most Wanted." In 1981, the lives of my wife Reve and I were changed forever. Our beautiful son Adam was abducted from a mall in a nice area of South Florida. Sadly, two weeks into the biggest search for a child ever in Florida, our son was found murdered. In my quest to find justice and fight back for victims, I lobbied Congress to change the laws and to change how police search for missing children. I'm proud to say that the movement I started is still going strong. There's a national organization dedicated to helping children (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) and now this country and its media are beginning to understand that our children need to be informed about how to stay safe. In 1981 not much was known about child abduction and exploitation. Parents knew very little and, tragically, children knew even less. Today we're proud of the awareness that children have about the dangers that face them. Children see images everywhere of kidnappings and exploitation. We only need to think about what we've seen in the past year--pedophiles in the clergy, Internet predators, and others who are in positions to take advantage of children's trust in them--to know that kids are still being victimized at an alarming rate. I hope that's about to change. As a crime fighter and host of a popular TV program that has saved lives, I'm proud to be teaming up with a woman who knows how to teach children. Kids want to know what to do, and parents need to be prepared. Like me, Julie Clark is a parent who cares. She has a proven track record of teaching kids. Her passion and experience make this series of safety videos for children something that parents and kids will want to watch. Now parents and kids will do what I've been doing for more than 23 years--they'll fight back.

Best Video Ever
This is BY FAR the BEST DVD we've EVER purchased for our children. The cover for our video is a bit different than the one featured (and more expensive), so perhaps ours was re-mastered after the complaints of the sound from other reviewers. Ours had no technical issues at all. The quality of the acting was superb, and the content couldn't be beat. This is hilarious, educational, and does a better job of informing kids about safety issues in thirty minutes than I think I've done in YEARS of trying to talk to my children about such issues. If we could afford it, I'd purchase this DVD for every family we know. Yes, it is that good. And we so appreciate this coming out of the heartache of John Walsh. What an impact that family's tragedy had on the safety of our own families.

Great even for 3 year olds
My son has been watching this since he was 2 1/2. He didn't understand it, but loved the "Safeside Super Chick" and her outrageous hair styles. Now that he is going on 3 1/2, this is one of his favorite dvds. I wavered over buying this because I didn't want to make him fearful of people, but when I realized he liked to say hello to EVERYONE he saw, I was worried he would not hesitate to go off with someone if they had something he liked (truck, toy, candy, etc.)

Now he understands so many of the concepts and likes to repeat them to his younger sisters who think this is just another fun dvd to watch, like Elmo.

Given how much emphasis parents place on learning the alphabet and numbers and other basic building blocks for success, knowing how to protect oneself is even more important for children. I'm glad I got this DVD.

Girl Scouts
I got this video to show our Girl Scouts and it was jut what we wanted.

Kid friendly!!
This is a great tool to teach kids about their own safety while being fun & easy for them to understand. The kids love it! Thank you!

Good even for a 3 year old
After my husband lost our daughter at the pumpkin patch we decided she needed stranger safety training. This DVD did not scare her and she loves it. Asks for it over and over again. Safe Side Superchick is fun and appeals to a preschoolers need for empowerment and their right to assert themselves and scream NO THATS NOT MY DADDY! My daughter really got the message and I'm so very grateful! Pre-teen kids may find it cheesy but hopefully they already know all this stuff about strangers. Am ordering this as a party favor for my deaughters next birthday. I want ALL our kids to stay on the SAFE SIDE!
