Raising My Voice to Protect Our Kids
Brian Claypool
Nationally regarded trial attorney and media personality Brian Claypool weaves his personal story of trauma and his experience litigating notorious child abuse cases to warn how our cultural code of silence endangers children and what we can do to fix it.
Litigation and civil rights attorney Brian Claypool has squared off in the courtroom against child predators in some of America’s most notorious abuse cases. He is also a highly regarded expert on sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, regularly appearing on Fox News, CNN, Good Morning America, and HLN. For the first time, Claypool tells his personal story of abuse and how that has fueled his mission to protect and defend children.
Bravely sharing his own trauma, Claypool gives insight into what can happen when we don’t speak out, how abuse can affect victims for a lifetime, and how we can collectively break the pervasive code of silence. Along the way, he details five blockbuster cases he worked and won for kids, including that of Anthony Avalos, a topic in the Netflix series The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez.
Claypool provides twenty-five red flags for identifying trouble and safeguarding children—developed from his own experiences and years spent in court analyzing child predators.
It’s time to end this power dynamic and give voice to children and those who seek to protect them. This eye-opening, crucial must-read will empower anyone who wants to advocate for children and is courageous enough to defend them.
