Jeremiah

Yuen Lui |
QKid
Jeremiah is bright, academically on target and likes to laugh. Initially raised in the country, he loves being outdoors, riding his bike, and interacting with animals, especially horses. He's passionate about art and when given the choice, prefers doing art projects to playing sports, even though it means staying inside. He also loves collecting baseball cards. Jeremiah will likely blossom as the only child in a two-parent home with a strong, consistent, father figure as a role model and a gentle, nurturing mother.
If you have any questions about A Family or QKids, please call us at 1-800-732-1887or contact us by e-mail.

idea if that person will be willing to talk to you.
4. Develop a safety plan: if you decide to meet with the sex
offender...find a *neutral* setting with the *goal* of agreeing on
a list of do's and dont's for that person.
5.Most importantly: be safe.Remember: this may not be the *only*
threat in your neighborhood. Experts always advise sitting down
with your family and having an honest talk about the potential
threat in their neighborhood.
