American Fork, UT (PRWEB) August 02, 2013 -- Booth's ATA Black Belt Academy in American Fork has announced plans for a free community Child Safety Seminar scheduled for 6:00 PM to 7:30, August 16, 2013.

With active membership exceeding 350,000 worldwide and 1,200 schools in the U.S. and abroad, ATA is positively positioned to reach children and adults with the message of abduction prevention.

Through age appropriate instruction, awareness of warning signs and ID activities such as fingerprinting, collectively ATA schools around the world hope to have a significant impact on reducing the risk of child abduction and victimization”, says Mr Booth.
