Contact information: e-mail: austin@kidpower.org Phone: 512-666-4543 Another noteworthy excerpt from the Kidpower Austin website: "I was recently sent this video that demonstrates how ineffective it is just to tell our children not to talk to strangers. A man with a puppy asks different parents for permission to approach their children with the puppy to see how they handled it. All of these parents said they have consistently told their children never to talk to strangers. Much to their horror, it took him about 30 seconds to draw their children away from a park."
