Our Resources
Knowledge can help protect a child.
Protecting children begins with awareness, preparation and open communication. This resource library is designed to help parents, caregivers and children become more informed, more prepared and more confident.
Practical information families can use.
Our goal is not to create fear. It is to provide educational tools that support calm, informed and age-appropriate conversations about child safety.
Technology, research and community action can support real cases.
Trace Labs uses Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to support investigations involving missing persons and to help gather useful publicly available information for law-enforcement cases.
Trace Labs
Trace Labs coordinates OSINT investigations into missing-person cases from around the world. For families, investigators and people interested in missing-person investigations, it provides an opportunity to better understand how research and technology can support real-world cases.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to review these videos first and decide what information is appropriate for their child's age, maturity and circumstances.
Anti Abduction / Child Trafficking Self Defense
A child-safety and self-defense resource focused on helping families think about how children can respond during potentially dangerous situations involving attempted abduction or trafficking.
Teach Your Kids to Stop an Abduction – Quick Self Defense
Use this resource to begin conversations about recognizing unsafe situations, responding quickly and understanding that it can be appropriate to resist, make noise and seek help when in danger.
How to Teach Your Kids Self-Defense
Self-defense can also help children build confidence, awareness, healthy boundaries and the ability to recognize when something may not feel right.
Prepare without creating fear.
Some of the most important safety lessons begin with simple, age-appropriate conversations at home.
Trusted Adults
Help children identify adults they can safely turn to when they need assistance.
Personal Boundaries
Teach children that they can speak up when behavior or physical contact makes them uncomfortable.
Situational Awareness
Encourage children to pay attention to their surroundings and recognize when something feels unsafe.
Asking for Help
Children should know that making noise or attracting attention may be appropriate when they are in danger.
Online Awareness
Remind children that people they meet online may not always be who they claim to be.
Open Communication
Create an environment where children know they can talk about uncomfortable experiences without fear of judgment.
Awareness starts at home.
Safety education should be calm, practical, age-appropriate and ongoing. The goal is not for children to live in fear. The goal is for them to develop confidence and awareness.
Take the situation seriously and act quickly.
If a child cannot be located or you believe a child may be in immediate danger, educational websites and online resources are not a substitute for emergency assistance or law-enforcement response.
Contact the appropriate local authorities as quickly as possible and provide accurate, current information about the child and the circumstances. Keep recent photographs, identifying information and important family contacts readily available.
In an emergency or when a child may be in immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency services or law-enforcement authorities in your location.
We are building this library with purpose.
SNR Project Protect will continue adding educational materials that help families better understand important child-safety topics.
