Ok, In less than 12 hours, I have heard of 3 children being abducted/going missing , just in my state alone!!! They weren't kidding when they say "A child goes missing every 40 seconds"
I look at my little ones and think " Have I really taught them about safety? Will they understand when something wrong is happening to them?" My being unsettled on any answers, drives me to want to do more. I'm determined to come up with some methods that keep my kids aware and alert.
I know in many places around America-a child could run a mile on a dirt road and parents feel safe because no body is around..In small towns, kids play ball in the street and mom's in the kitchen cooking or watching tv. Let's be real here-many lazy parents out there.. In small communities, people tend to believe there's always going to be that one nosy neighbor watching out their window. Sorry all!! It's not something you should rely on!
My kids are right outside my huge doors-made of glass-so I can see them. Guess what? I go to the restroom real quick, come back and one is behind the building while the other one is heading toward the road! All it takes is a second! Although I live in a place that's small, I still keep an eye on my children-no, a HAWKS EYE with an eye in the back of my head too! Why? Because anything could happen!!!
I've lived in 3 huge cities with my kids as well. Including NYC. My first experience was just 10min after I got off the bus with them. One of the kids let go of my hand and was further down on an escalator-he walked down and got off...(BIG THANK YOU TO NYC POLICE DEPT) Thank GOD a police man happen to be right there! He took my son's hand and brought him up. He looked at me so sternly and said I need to KEEP my kids next to me at all times! He said someone WILL snatch my child in a heartbeat. I was upset obviously and almost in tears. I looked at him and said-Thank You! I definitely will keep them close to me. I wish there were more cops like you around.
One man with a big heart, with kindness and understanding -he noticed, I was pregnant-with 2kids (toddlers) plus luggage..and struggling with it all. He used that opportunity to kick my brain in gear. I forgot about being tired from a 2 day trip and many bus transfers. I almost hugged the guy and at the same time almost in tears! hehehe
For those who believe your kids are 'safe': I'm saying WAKE UP!!! Open your eyes and actually WATCH your kids! STOP BEING LAZY!!! GET OFF YOUR BUTT!!!!! I don't know how many of you watch the news or read 'serious' stuff online-but here, in my blogs-I'm telling you now...EDUCATE YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT SAFETY - WATCH YOUR KIDS 24/7 -DON'T TRUST PEOPLE SO EASILY- DON'T RELY ON THE NEIGHBORS/FAMILY/FRIENDS TO DO THE WATCHING FOR YOU-CHOOSE WISELY, EACH DECISION CONCERNING YOUR CHILDREN--RESEARCH--ASK QUESTIONS
I could go on for HOURS, but instead: I'll leave you with some links and how to make an ID kit for your kids.
ASK LOCAL FIRE/POLICE DEPT FOR A DNA KIT- This is actually a long q-tip you rub on your child's gums. Put in cup (untouched) to dry 30min. Then, place in envelope provided and TAPE it closed -DO not lick it..It screws up the dna on the q-tip. Put in your Freezer for safe keeping.
ID KITS-You can order these or have them made FREE anywhere. But, what I do is: take a few recent photos of my kids and write on the back-AGE LOCATION DOB and PHONE # ( my number and my emergency contact #) Why? Because if someone hurt me and took my kids-then, whoever finds me, will be able to contact someone else and know that I have kids missing possibly! I keep one in my purse-but in a busy atmosphere, I actually keep one in my pocket as well.

HUMAN RIGHTS:THE DAY THE WORLD WILL CRY
When all tears have been shed
When the last shout rings out
The final echo is heard
A shot blast; at last light of day
Words become no more
Feeling and emotion controlled
All like-minded
With a number, not a name
The very thought of
Dream, hope, love, God
Erased and forgotten
Non-existent; lack of choice
The earth bares no color
No shade, nor lightNo rain, no snow
Only a misty haze; lack of life
Not one smile left
No step out of line
A child's laughter tinkles
Another Bang in the night
The line grows longer
All aching for living
Like wild horses
Grazing and playing
That life gone
Free will and thought
Free speech and movement
Disappeared in a blink
Longing for what could be
But, No help came in uniform
No whirs of engines in the sky
No plea to ‘ leave no man behind’
Stripped of self dignity and angered
Each began to softly
Pass along a message
To stand together
The one revolt
One impact by all
Valiant Shouts!
Victory in hearts
Shots rang out
Like bombs dropping
Automatic weapons used
Grenades splatter skin
ALL SILENCED
Not a soul left
As the over takers cheered
Covered in skin and blood
They looked at the bodies
The earth around them
The day the world cried
Whom had remained
A mighty strike came upon them
They too, were too late
The tears turned them pale
Their bodies became frail
One by one, taken
By The Overseer
Imagine families separated. Millions standing in constant moving lines. Stepping over bodies, bones, and blood. Their own flesh, thin, weathered, scarred , broken and bruised. Famished , so hungry they’d devour their own excrement. Like robots, they do what they are told. Until one day, they finally understand they can fight for life. They are killed. Then, the over takers are killed by the overseer.
This is not an exaggerated story. There are lands being take over. Genocide! In my poem, I’ve left it up to the reader’s interpretation in the ending. Why? The overseer could be God ridding the land of all mankind. OR, could be a dictator seeing the job he wanted, finished. Then, he kills those that did the killing, so he can start anew. Again, Left to imagination.

Myanmar: Receiving Aid, Death Toll Climbing
Myanmar accepting Aid finally! Are they too late for many of the survivors? Will there be uncontrollable disease spreading through the land? Due to lack of resources and limited medical aid, it is going to take a great deal of time to sort out what needs to be done. If you want to make donations to help out Myanmar, please make sure the organization is legit! There are many you can pick from government approved organizations! Having prayer chains and gatherings is encouraged as well.
