Autor Robin Boyle-Laisureen Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 noi 2025
Bazându-ne pe expertiza juridică și academică a autoarei Robin Boyle-Laisure, profesor la St. John's University School of Law, descoperim în Taken No More un ghid esențial pentru siguranța minorilor în era digitală. Observăm că această lucrare nu se limitează la o simplă trecere în revistă a pericolelor, ci utilizează baze de date și concepte sociologice avansate, precum modelul BITE al controlului autoritar și „Continuumul Influenței”, pentru a explica mecanismele psihologice din spatele recrutării în culte și a traficului de persoane. Textul extinde cadrul propus de Online Predators, an Internet Insurgency de Jeffrey A. Lee cu date noi din sfera juridică și a studiilor despre culte, oferind o perspectivă integrată asupra vulnerabilităților umane. Structura cărții este riguros organizată, pornind de la definirea necesității conștientizării (Capitolul 1) și avansând progresiv prin etapele de grooming și coerciție, până la soluții practice de intervenție. Spre deosebire de alte manuale care se concentrează exclusiv pe prevenția online, volumul de față dedică secțiuni ample colaborării dintre comunitate, forțele de ordine și profesioniștii din domeniul sănătății mintale. Analiza este susținută vizual prin diagrame și casete informative care decodifică semnele de avertizare ale abuzului. Această ediție publicată de BLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC se distinge prin rigoarea academică aplicată unor situații de viață extrem de sensibile, oferind instrumente de comunicare adaptate pentru copii de toate vârstele. Recomandăm acest volum ca pe o resursă de referință care transformă teama în acțiune informată, fiind utilă atât în mediul familial, cât și în cel universitar sau juridic.

Descriere
Our digital age is bringing unprecedented challenges to child-rearing. Predators lurk online and in the real world, exploiting children from all walks of life. Anyone can be trafficked, and anyone can be recruited into a cult. So how do we keep our children safe?
In Taken No More: Protect Your Children Against Traffickers and Cults, Robin Boyle-Laisure warns parents, caregivers, and guardians about the dangers of human trafficking and cults. She offers tips on how to talk to children of any age to make sure they are aware and on guard but not sheltered, and includes an entire chapter devoted to online predatory behavior due to its ever-rising influence. Boyle-Laisure also describes the progressive stages of targeting, grooming, recruitment, coercion, and control and provides warning signs that a child is being groomed.
Drawing on expert insight and full of strategies and resources that readers can turn to for help, Taken No More is a vital guidebook for parents, as well as for educators, law enforcement, law makers, and more. It takes a village to stop human trafficking and cult recruitment, but it starts with each individual-adults and children alike-having the knowledge and awareness to recognize the signs.

Taken No More by Robin Boyle-Laisure is a vital guide that unveils the chilling parallels between cults and human trafficking, offering practical strategies to protect children from coercive control in our tech-driven world. Packed with actionable insights, it empowers parents and caregivers to recognize and combat these hidden threats. A must-read for safeguarding our kids!
The only way to protect children from the horrors of trafficking and cults, is to educate ourselves so that we can recognize it when we see it and teach our children what they need to know to protect themselves. This book provides the tools to do just that. Every child deserves a real childhood and as adults, it is our job to ensure they get it.
Taken No More is a standout book exploring coercive control, cults, human trafficking, and the law. Robin Boyle-Laisure speaks easily to any audience-parents, young adults, mental health professionals, attorneys, researchers, educators, and the general public. Real-life stories that seem to pop off the pages indicate how easily an individual can become ensnared by a coercive controlling person or group. One might wonder why people in these abusive situations don't just leave. Taken No More offers a deep understanding of the nature of coercion, the impact on individuals, legal issues, and the effects on communities. Of the current cultic literature, this book is one of the most thorough examinations of the dynamics of cults, human trafficking, and the law.
Taken No More is a groundbreaking exploration of human trafficking for both families and professionals. Boyle, a leading expert in cults and the law, skillfully interweaves poignant real-life stories with a comprehensive examination of research from specialists in human trafficking, cults, mental health, child development, and the law. After reading this timely book, families, counselors, and educators will be better prepared to help children and adolescents build resilience against the deception and coercion of human traffickers, cult leaders, and other potential predators in their everyday lives and the digital world.
Attorney Robin Boyle-Laisure has successfully filled a void in our forensic and psychological understanding of the connection between human trafficking and the coercive groups and processes often referred to as "cults." Written for the educated layperson as well as the attorney and forensic psychologist, Taken No More goes beyond an explanation of research and past legal decisions relevant to cults and trafficking; Professor Boyle-Laisure provides thoughtful, solid, and proven strategies, organized by specific situation and the individual's developmental level, for dealing with children and adults whose freedoms and lives have been endangered by organized narcissistic fanatics and psychopaths.
Taken No More provides sorely needed information for parents, caregivers, mental health professionals, teachers, lawyers, and law enforcement. The dangers of human traffickers and cults are increasingly and alarmingly prevalent, and this book helps to raise awareness.
