Stranger Danger! Teach Your Child The ABCs of Safety

Friday September 17, 2004
I reside in Texas, and all week long the media has been covering horrifying and tragic events in which a young child was abducted and then molested while walking to school with her older brother, of a step-parent abusing a daughter and then killing himself, of a female teacher victimizing a 13-year-old, and of a male teacher having inappropriate contact with a 12-year-old. It's enough to make any parent NEVER let their child outside the safety of their own home. But, while I love the secure feeling of my children all safe in their own residence, that is not practical for all times, and so I have written tips for parents to discuss with their children (even very young ones) and to understand what to do in the event of stranger danger.

I found the best thing to my boyfriend’s birthday… It’s really hard to find cool and still unique.
So today I saw this thing from ZTARLET on facebook where you can name a real star in the sky and have the certificate and a teddy bear sent to you and pay it by a single SMS. So awesome :)

I saw that Casey Fronczek is offering fishing trips now down in south Florida. Does anybody have any input on these trips or has anyone been on one of these trips before?
