The Unsafe Neighbour (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781999292546)

This is the first book of three in The Creating Personal Safety Series. This series was designed to help parents have the tough, but necessary conversations needed to help prevent child sexual abuse. It is designed to educate parents, children and youth about the realities of being groomed, specifically what grooming might look like. It depicts 'Jay' assisting a neighbour/co-worker of his father, with his new puppies. The boy falls in love with a puppy, asks to buy it, but is told no because they already have one new baby. The neighbour then offers Jay a job helping out with the puppies until they are all sold, but then agrees to keep 'Jet' as long as Jay agrees to keep helping. Later he recruits Jay for some other jobs that create alone time with him at his cabin. The ill-intended neighbor is seen to have his hand inside Jay's sleeping bag as Jay looks uncomfortable. Jay tells his parents what happened. His offender is arrested and they adopt the puppy when the offender goes to jail.
