kidequip: “UNLOCKING GREAT
CHARACTER
IN YOUR KIDS!”
 “Because Steve Taylor
told me to!” This is what elementary school student Billy MacArthur answered
when asked how he knew to run away from a stranger-abduction incident. It was
a day after Steve Taylor had appeared at his school with his assembly on
Stranger-Awareness, so when Billy was approached by a stranger in a van
offering him a ride, Billy remembered the clear lesson he’d learned and
yelled “No!,” then ran home to told his mom. Billy put into practice a lesson
he had learned from a school assembly that may have saved his young life!
From Billy MacArthur to the fourth grade
girl who, after attending one of Steve’s “Personal Protection” PEP Talks,
came forward seeking help from a soccer coach who was abusing her, there have
