How the power of divine Love is helping a New Zealand woman to fight child abuse

Because of her love for children and respect for the efforts of the police in combating child abuse, a Christian Scientist in Southland, New Zealand, was looking for a way to be of help. She now writes material that police education officers are successfully using to teach children to recognize situations that could lead to danger.

Patricia Wilson's stories are used extensively in school programs and have appeared on children's television.

Her first story, actually, was written to show policemen in a different light than they are often seen. She wrote about a policeman teaching his preschool daughter how to spell and say her full name and how to remember and write her address. This story was soon featured on a television program for parents of young children.
