Greeting, fellow crime buffs! This week's article focuses on another back to school safety issue-how your kids can escape a kidnapper who's already grabbed them. Coming up next week, I will complete the series with some tips for parents.

In other news, I finished reading a book recently-"The Lives of Sacco and Vanzetti" by Rick Geary. This is, sadly, a far more rare occurence than it used to be. But like so many of us, I am busy, busy, busy and hobbies usually are the first to go when something has to. Look for my review of this book in the coming week as well.

Stay safe out there, and no getting into fistfights over the last blue folder at Wal-Mart!

Here's the latest article from the Crime site at BellaOnline.com.
