Spider-Man Safety Series [Search Effort]

I've done a little digging on these tapes, looking at the references of the LMW page on them and have got a little information for anyone who wishes to attempt to contact people.

First it looks like the writer of "don't hide abuse" and "Smart kids play it safe" is someone named Karen Peterson who seems to be credited for other 3000 works:

Her world cat page is here: www.worldcat.org/search?q=au%3APeterson%2C+Karen.&dblist=638&se=yr&sd=desc&fq=+%28%28x0%3Avideo+x4%3Avhs%29%29+%3E+fm%3Ajuv&qt=facet_fm%3A_audience

If someone could find a contact she may be able to add more information but I doubt it.

Additionally, seemingly the publisher of these tapes is a company called Coronet/MTI Film & Video. Not that it's worth much but here is a video from around the correct time which shows there logo www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvwPyRcgBLY . They are a company which specialized in mini-docs and educational films so this would be right down there alley. Although the spiderman films are not seen on either there imdb www.imdb.com/search/title/?companies=co0358036 which seems to be massively incomplete anyway. It's important to note that this company was later acquired by a company called  phoenix learning group, which when contacted about the films (by LMW user "RogueKnite") said :

"We received your letter and did some research. It looks like Phoenix distributed these for awhile and then withdrew them. These were produced by LCA as the "Spider-man Safety Series" and most LCA titles, including these, were acquired by FOX that then licensed them back to Phoenix. The FOX contract shows that FOX rights were due to expire in 2005, but since we never heard whether FOX renewed those rights, we don't know the current status. The contract also shows that all distribution is subject to underlying rights belonging to MARVEL. Your letter stated there were 3 episodes when in fact there were 4. You overlooked "Where Do You Go for Help" We have 6,000+ VHS tapes not all of which are fully documented. That is a project I am working on presently. If I come across these I will let you know however I suggest you try Fox first. "

So fox may also be worth contacting. In addition anyone who used to work for Coronet/MTI Film & Video during the late 80's early 90's would also have potential.

As for the physical vhs tapes I have 3 places where there is supposed to be a tape.

plattekill.lib.ny.us/nfvideos.htm - this is a link to the network state library listings where it lists  "SPIDERMAN: WHERE DO YOU GO FOR HELP?" I have no idea if this is accurate or still there or even what exact place it would be in but it's relevant.

And I also found 2 different locations holding   "Spider-Man-- don't hide abuse" and "Spider-man : what to do about drugs" respectively. The first is supposedly held by a goverment office-charity foundation thing. called "juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County" - who you can attempt to contact at :

14155 58th Street North

Clearwater, FL 33760

P: 727.453.5600

F: 727.453.5610

E: Communications@jwbpinellas.org

or you can just use there website www.jwbpinellas.org/contact/

The copy of "Spider-man : what to do about drugs" is supposedly located in a Wichita public school in the 67219 which I'm assuming is either "hights high school" - (https://www.usd259.org/Heights) or "stucky middle school" (https://www.usd259.org/Stucky) although I may be wrong.
