Lindsey Baum, 10 years old, is missing in McCleary, WA. She started out on a short, 7 minute walk home and has not been seen since.  One of our staff members and a group of writers at www.ehow.com put together a free, downloadable ebook for parents on child safety. Hoop-Smart is dedicated to creating a safe and positive environment for all children. Please feel free to click the link below and get a copy. You may also distribute the book for free to anyone who may be interested.

Information from the writers of this project:


"This free ebook is dedicated to Lindsey Baum. We hope you will use the tips it presents as part of your family's plan to stay safe. Feel free to print out as many copies as you want and hand them out to parents, teachers, babysitters and everyone else who works with children.

 


A note from Lindsey's mother:

"There are days (most) when I don’t think I could miss Lindsey more, or hurt any worse, and then tomorrow comes and I see that I was wrong – If only I had known that my daughter wasn’t safe and if only I could have taught her more ways to protect herself I’d have my baby, my movie buddy, home with me tonight" … Melissa Baum

 


A note from the mother of Lindsey's best friend:

"Read this book, talk to your children, educate them and then hug them extra tight each night. Do whatever you must to make sure you never, ever understand how we feel. …Kara Kampen

 


Please note Lindsey turned 11 on July 7th 2009.
