Guarding Our Kids Against Monsters is a profound exploration by David Humphrey and Shawn Sellers, lifelong friends and Masonic brothers deeply concerned about child safety in today's digital world. Drawing on David's extensive background in law enforcement, business ownership, and anti-human trafficking efforts, alongside Shawn's expertise in Religious Studies, education, and coaching, the book uncovers the hidden threats facing children, particularly online.

Their work serves as a comprehensive resource, offering practical insights, strategies, and poignant real-life narratives to empower caregivers and young individuals to navigate the complexities of the digital landscape safely.

It underscores the critical need for heightened awareness, vigilance, and proactive measures to protect childhood innocence and ensure a safer online environment. Through expert analysis and passionate advocacy, David and Shawn aim to inspire collective action and foster a community dedicated to shielding children from the unseen dangers lurking in the digital shadows. This book is a call to action for parents, educators, policymakers, and technology companies to unite to defend our society's most vulnerable members. It offers practical guidance for creating a protective environment where children can thrive and grow without fear of exploitation or harm.
