New America’s Children in the 21st Century Explores a Nation’s Children in Peril

SAN ANTONIO - Oct. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Is America a good place for children? Bill Timmerman answers that question with a resounding no. America’s Children in the 21st Century: A Call to Action, a new book from former psychotherapist Bill Timmerman, offers an in-depth and frightening look at the threats to the well-being of children in America.

Readers may be surprised to learn how America ranks with other developed countries in the number of homeless children, the poverty rate among children and number of pre-term birth defects plus in other measures of well-being. In fact, child abuse, child pornography, child prostitution, sexting and other serious threats are addressed statistically and presented graphically in a number real-life incident reports from the media.

America’s Children in the 21st Century traces the status and valuation of children from ancient times to a growing sentiment in America that children are more trouble than they are worth. Author Bill Timmerman, a retired psychotherapist and grandfather of 13, lays out action steps that parents, grandparents and others can take to confront the sources of danger to the children. He emphasizes the importance of spending quality time guiding and monitoring children on the specific risks and dangers of sexting and online predators.

Timmerman’s book includes recommendations for specific legal advocacy organizations to support, and advises covering children with prayers and blessings for their protection. A list of specific guidelines is presented for readers’ use.
