'Street Safe Kids’ is a 180 page educational street-proofing booklet for parents and children written by Mr. Manoli several years ago. The manual gathered information on how Pedophiles lure, and abuse children. The manual available to all, was a general information tool which accompanied the simulation oriented, 9 hour hands-on ’Street Smart’ children’s course and parent/child workshop Mr. Manoli offers and teaches throughout Montreal and Quebec.

"His children’s street-proofing programs are proudly recommended by the ‘Missing Children’s Network Canada’ for they empower participants with practical street safe strategies and self-defense skills through group discussion, role playing, luring/abduction simulations and age related crime prevention assignments for both children and parents."
