Code Phrase Could Protect a Child
Advocate pg.8B, 4-18-08

After reading about a child being abducted in Houston, Elizabeth Miner felt compelled to share a simple plan her mother taught her to prevent kids from being kidnapped. She suggested that parents teach their children a secret code phrase. So, if parents ever have to send someone the child doesn't know to pick him or her up, then the parents will give the person their secret code phrase. If the person doesn't know the code phrase, the child knows they should run away as fast as possible.
This was a very good article. You know from the title what the article is about. It shares information to help children, so I was more receptive to the information. She could have put facts about how many children have been abducted to try to get more people to act. However, she fulfilled her objective of sharing information to protect children.

This author seemed like a caring person and really cared about the children. I think the code phrase is a good idea and could be effective. The author does not establish credibility as an author and just presents a plan.
