3 A itmiH and Girls COLOR ieiE m 7n-J FOR YOUR PROTECTION, REMEMBER TO: Turn down gilts from strangers , Refuse rides offered by strangers Parents Urged to Educate Children About Molesters By GAY PAULEY New York IUP1I "It seems unbelievable," said a neigh bor of fo'ir-ycar-old Edith (Googie) Kiccorius, "that on a day when nobody was working lie could have walked down the street and in there with her and nobody noticed." Police on Sunday found the battered, sexually assaulted body of the blondo tot in a rooming house on Manhattan's West Side. She had dis appeared on Washington's birthday from the sidewalk in front of her home. Such crimes seem, as the neighbor, Mrs.- Beatrice Bicke, had said, "unbeliev able." Yet they happen and the black headlines tell the grim story of the children who are what New York's police com missioner Michael J. Murphy calls victims of the "vicious degenerate." 'Human Vultures' J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, calls these crimi nals "human vultures." And their threat "hangs every community in over our land," says Hoover in a re cent publication called "The Menace of the Child Mo lesters." At what rate they commit their heinous acts, federal authorities can only guess for police departments use vary ing labels to book these criminals. Police . authorities believe this type of crime will be re duced or wiped out only as parents and school authorities educate their children suffi ciently to the dangers of asso cition was strangers. The FBI began one such campaign four years ago with coloring books, distributed through elementary schools. The sketches taught the les son of turning down rides by strangers, of refusing gifts such as candy, of the need to be home after dark unless with some member of the family. The FBI said more than three million of the books had been distributed, New York City's police de partmcnt has a section on child safety in its "Pamphlet for Women," a publication of the public Information office Called "Children Need Pro tection," Its message cannot be repented too often to par ents nor drilled too thorough ly into children. "Remember these things can happen to anyone," said Sgt. John Collins of the police department.
