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.
