*Only by embracing what we fear can we truly know our self* In Darkness and in Silence words illuminate my path* Give me high granite walls, juniper and ash trees, dirt on my hiking boots, and the air at 10,000 feet*

Kenneth D. Connelly (KC) is a speaker, educator and author.

 

 

Kenneth Connelly is an Author, Speaker and Educator on Child Abduction. His Specific area is Parental Abduction.   Kenneth has spoken before the Texas State Congress, Law Enforcement Agencies, and Child Protective services. He has testified as an expert witness and His involvement with The Center for the Missing and other organizations has helped put a face to this quiet crime.   Kenneth gives a unique perspective as the first successful capture and recovery case, across state lines.    Mr. Connelly takes great care in educating the similarities of Stranger based and Non stranger based Child Abduction. Mr. Connelly answers the question, why do children stay in a Long-Term-Abduction, and not run-away and ask for help. 
His book, Throwing Stones, recounts in detail, his experience from the age of seven to eleven years old.   He shows how distant relatives, child care providers, religious private schools and gaps in State and Federal Identification can lead to a successful abduction. Detailing the secret and often hidden emotional breakdown a long-term kidnapped child goes through; leading the child to protect the perpetrator that has inflicted the abuse upon them
You can overcome anything if you desire.  Finding that one grounding tool can be very hard; finding the right influences even harder.  Ken has relied on his one constant in life, Martial Arts.  From youth and into his thirties, Ken used this basic building block of discipline, to mold and direct his life.  
 Being human we make mistakes.  Learning right from wrong on your own can be even harder.  Ken shows how not having proper influence can drastically make a bad situation worse.  Ken hopes that by showing his childhood and adult life for what it is, being human; we can better understand what it means to be kidnapped.  
Kenneth lives with his family in Richardson, TX. Kenneth is a former Law Enforcement Officer, Veteran of the United States Army, and active in the Texas State Guard as a Medic. When given the chance, you can find him at 10,000 feet, cameras at his side-backcountry hiking with his wife, children and miniature schnauzer, String.

 

 

 

Ken seeks to be a bridge, a living case study for those willing to ask the questions.

Additional Information

My most recent work is my non-fiction book, Throwing Stones, an abduction story. This book is most dear to me. It is the first book through the eyes of an abducted child, kidnapped for over three years. I have written it without trying to influence the reader. I want the reader to make their own opinion. I have also been asked to share my poetry. They come from my personal book, Lyrics from the Edge. I hope you enjoy. I have been asked to start speaking on behalf of Amber Alert in Texas.

My little world online, yes I have a myspace, my brother talked me into it.
Myspace site dedicated to Throwing Stones.

takeroot.org
A site for adults who have been abducted by their parents at one time or another. It is not for the parent but the other victim, the silent one, still searching for some peace.

Texas Center for the Missing
TCFTM is just a great org. They have been fighting child abduction for years and has one of the best Amber Programs in the country. My hats off to them.

My little brother's little piece of the web. Great site. I have a link on it.
Sam is a published writer and a big inspiration in making this jump to published work. We should of been twins. Both artist's and musicians. I have more hair though.
