| We are here sharing our profiles with strangers. For the most part I think we are aware of how to keep ourselves safe.
But do you know how to protect your kids? Other than teaching them never to talk to strangers, nor take candy or rides. What have you really done to protect them?
In 2000, almost 900,000 missing person cases were reported. 85% to 90% of them were juveniles, (under the age of 18).
If your child were to go missing would you know what to do?

| 1. Keep a file with your child's current information in it......clear, close-up photos of their face and profile and full-length photos, photos of birthmarks and other distinguishing characteristics, finger prints, height, weight and measurement chart updated every six months. 2. Keep an address book listing all their friends names, addresses and phone numbers (the majority of missing reports are runaways and frequently have a friend hiding them). 3. File a police report for a missing person asap after ascertaining the child isn't just running late. Provide them with all the info in your file. Notify them immediately of any change you are aware of. Be in contact daily. If your child isn't located within 24 hours, contact all media outlets in your area and push for assistance. Contact the National Center for Missing Children. 4. Investigate programs that teach children how to prevent and escape abduction. Talk to them about this subject and role play scenarios every six months. 5. Pray and ask everybody you know to help.

| Personally, I wouldn't let my kids go to public schools where some teachers and social workers would warp their minds. My personal opinion is that CPS kidnaps most of the children. Use to be when a child was missing, It would be a large headline in the paper and the whole town would be out looking for them until they found them. Now in my own town's paper, there is at least 15 to 20 missing kids a month in just this area alone. No one can tell me that there are that many different kidnappers out there unless it's an organized operation. My opinion again is that if people look at the children's homes and the CPS and foster people, they will find many of those missing kids that were snatched right out of their yards and school yards by the CPS. BTW, there are child labor camps in the usa.

| There is 3 different types of abductions.
Family abductions, which are done by a non custodial parent or a relative
Acquaintance abductions, which are done by someone either the child or the family knows
or stranger abductions.
Almost every state has a missing children clearing house. It lists those missing.
Many of the missing kids are runaways.
Unfortunately runaways do not receive the attention a child would receive if they were abducted.
Any child who is missing from the safety net of their home is in potential danger.
Police do not have the resources to work as hard on those cases.
The best thing a parent can do is contact organizations that will help, for FREE and make sure you do everything possible to keep the media involved.
CPS has lost children in the shuffle, example the Rilya Wilson case. Unfortunately no system is fool proof.

| JMO, but I hink anyone who advocates not following the law cannot protect their kids, per just_a_woman's ranting.
She admitted she was a family support worker, which normally anyone out of high school can be. There is no formal training. The people who do those jobs are used for transportation purposes and for helping people how to budget money, shop for food, etc. It is against policy and cause for termination to tell the clients to forget about signing a birth certificate or applying for child support.
Seems like she has a personal vendetta, probably because she did not protect her own kids. As a result, she is angry at all auhority figures.
It's quite astonishing, hard to believe and sad.

| wonderwhy, I raised my own two sons with my husband in a 24 year marriage. I am a born again christian woman that studies what the Bible tells us to watch out for. And you're right, I do have a vendata against any satainic angency that are hell bent on destroying families. That's what any of us are suppose to do, is protect our own kids as well as others. The CPS sure isn't. As far as training goes. The Holy Spirit teaches me in all things. I don't need man's approval to do what Holy Scripture tells me to do.

| "what have you really done to protect them" ...is asked.
apparently not much. more children die in high-way related incidences than die from upset fathers which determine that no reconciliation is in sight...all very confusedly. but they get called what-ever nic name in the press or television which sensationalizes it.
and if a mother kills her own children. usually the legal minds are brought to her aid w which exercise humanist principles. lucky girl.
she can kill her own ....and still have it socially excused. if she has the knowledgeable legal counsel.
as for the man. he will be rail-roaded (most usually i assume) directly out of any humanist defense.
and....as for the teaching your children not to speak to strangers head-line.
that has surely brought you to this. ... you yet don't speak to good common sense which remain non-identified by yourselves.
teaching fear (by some conditions) is not unconditional love.
men and women are in this age not good at teaching unconditional love.
and in particular. the media has earned greatly from that conditioning process.
any more points...?

| further...
there is in this life of ours socially acceptable means of risking a childs life.
packing your children in the automobile and risking their life for them to see the dr. (or someone else) is one of them.
can any of you think of other socially accepted child abuses / life risking events there are that are practised routinely..?
give it some thought...
it may humble you...

| yes gumdropss. lots of americans have guns i suppose.
how will you teach your own children i wonder about how to remain safe (and loving)(and therefore healthy and happy) within a fear induced consciously crippled community.? i wonder.
or will they be inheriting your .357...?
i should say that as a psychologist concerned for the children of tomorrow today ...
i hope you gain greater respect for your childrens conscious...and permit them to develop and function as free and loving.
otherwise...it won't be too far down the road that the police state will be locking up 4 year olds and publicly relating it as "crime prevention " ...
yes...your society is very close to that management...
in fact...sending children to schools where there is armed wo/men to defend them and staff can also be considered violation of childrens human rights .
but the weapons of destruction sell like hot-cakes...fostered by a fearfull capitalistic mentalities.
the children...if you send them out in the world early enough to meet those types of conditions...will not be happy. not possible. unless they accept all conditions as unchanging of them...but ever changing them.

| my sister and her soon to be ex-husband adopted two small children at birth. both now are three and four .the four year old is a girl and the three year old is a boy.my sister has been legally separated from him for almost a year now.
on one weekend when the little girl was coming back home from her "daddy", she began to tell my sister some very gross details that her "daddy" had done to her. it sent my sister into a spinning shock !! she grabbed up her daughter and took her to the police to report the incident.
family services was brought in on it the next day. they did a "valuation test" on her and said she didn't pass it. it simply floored my sister. after that , my sister wouldn't allow her daughter to go out to his house at all. they had to meet into and she had to be there to supervise it.
now.....a couple of weeks a go , the little boy came to stay with my sister over the weekend. he began to tell her stuff that his "daddy" was doing to him . this time i will discribe what he had said. " daddy had peed in his mouth" " daddy sucked his pepe". he cried when he told my sister this. once again she went to the police . once again the family service was called in and once again , they talked to the kids at their house and the children said exactly what they had told their mom. but, days later, my sister got a letter and they said "THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO!".
NOW TELL ME ....HOW LAME AND SICK THE FAMILY SERVICES FOR OUR CHILDREN HAS GOTTEN TO BE".

| bama. no. that is the view-point which has been given to you. but it is only true with the exact right conditions.
think of it this way.
if you asked each gun owner in the states if they were a good person and to put down their weapons for the sake of children today/tomorrow. most would which held that hope/faith out.
the ones which did not ...will think again themselves as belonging to either or category of good or less than good.
and the point was....they did not consider any children. they considered what value and identity a weapon brought them.
bama. also. the reasons people have guns are two-fold. always for personal acceptance. gained by social acceptance. which acceptance (self or social) would you consider to be foremost to your relationship with weapons.
most gun owners in the states identify with their weapon for the purpose of courage(freedom) and relationship (to others ...so that they are like them or unlike/distant from them). that includes both personal acceptance and social acceptance.
the fact of the matter is. you have heard so much about weapons in your families/communities/medias during your maturation process that if you don't have a gun it is because you are sick of hearing about them and desire no relationship with the bad news behind or following them.
they are an extension of ego is all they are.
and any hunter that gets a thrill from putting down an animal with a weapon that shoots faster than the animal can run or know what is coming is not courageous.
not even close.
