HOW TO SPOT PREDATORS Wouldn’t it be great to detect dangerous people just by looking? To know when someone is lying just by listening? Dr. Wendy Patrick, author of “RED FLAGS: How to Spot Frenemies, Underminers, and Ruthless People,” will demonstrate how to spot predators and protect yourself and your family from dangerous people. Drawing from her 22 years of experience as a prosecutor working with victims, corroborated by abundant psychological research, Dr. Patrick will give you a list of red flags to consider as early as the first meeting. Books will be available for purchase and signing after the powerpoint presentation March 13 at the Point Loma Hervey Library, 3701 Voltaire St. Refreshments and door prizes will follow. Call 619 531-1539 for more information.
