I cannot begin to tell you how wrong this is!!

The comments on this video range from amused to outrage. Yes folks there are parents out there that not only allow their children to do things like this but actually encourage it. What do you think? I for one am disgusted!!

Want to put your 125X125 card on one of my 3 sites? It's EASY...for now ;o)

Would you be interested in placing your 125X125 card on my side panel to the right? I will eventually be coming up with some kind of contest for this but for now I want to offer 2 card slots for trade. If you place my card on your site, your card will stay on mine as long as mine is on yours. Not a bad offer I think. ;o) Just drop me a note as a comment letting me know that you are interested. Remember that I am offering only two slots on each of my three sites. Take care my friends. ;o)

Child trafficking in your own back yard?

Did you know that Child Trafficking is a major problem in the Philippines even today? According to DSWD records they have assisted approximately 596 children, 188 boys and 408 girls, who were victims of trafficking last year. These children were subjected to anything from prostitution and pedophilia to pornography and child labor. Unicef has stated that the Philippines has the highest incidence of child prostitution in a tourist oriented destination. Is this the worldwide recognition that we want?

Children should be protected. They represent the future of any nation. How they are treated today will determine what kind of adults they will become. This in fact is how the cycle of abuse continues because these children who are trafficked and abused mentally and physically today, many times, become the abusers of tomorrow.

Ask yourself what you can do to help and actually take the next step into making a positive difference in the life a child’s tomorrow.

Do your children have a "Right" to privacy?

We all demand a right to our privacy. There is a valid concern for who knows what about you. Everything from financial information to that brown shoe box that you keep stashed on the top shelf in the back of your closet. Lives, relationships, businesses, and even governments have been toppled because some piece of privileged information has fallen into the wrong hands.

What I would like to know is what you think about your child's right to privacy. When he/she is old enough to want to keep her/his bedroom door locked. Cell phones, internet, who their friends are, and where they go when they leave the house. What is your stand? Do you have a right to know? Do you think you should know?

For me, I want to know everything about my children. Where they go, what they do, who they know. I do not allow them to lock doors in the house. I have access to cell phones and internet accounts. I know their friends parents. Do I always exercise my right to "invade" all of these areas of their developing lives? I do occasionally with no rhyme or reason. With no malice of forethought, it is just something I do. It is something they expect. They do not mind either because it has always been that way.

We need to know everything about our children and their lives. This lessens the possibility of ever having to say, "I wish I knew".

Check out "Net Nanny" What your child does on the internet is your business ;o)

Right at this moment the number one software on the market for keeping unwanted material off of your families computers is Net Nanny.Following is an excerpt from their website;

"Blocks Pornography and Protects Families and Children

Much more important than how it works, is that you know that Net Nanny does work. You have the peace of mind of knowing that you are protecting your children and family with the best internet safety tools available. Net Nanny can block not only pornography, but hate sites, questionable chat rooms and other dangers of the Internet. You can configure Net Nanny to block online game and gambling sites, and even make it so your children can only install and play computer games with parental ratings that you deem appropriate. Net Nanny even offers a simple, easy to use set-up assistant to help parents determine what online activities (Web sites, chat, gaming and social networks) are appropriate based on your family member’s age."

You can go to toptenreviews to see their list of the top content blockers. 

Remember that the protection of your children on the internet rests fully on your shoulders. Nobody else will ever care for them as much as you. Aside from programs like these, remember that Adult Supervision is always the best form of protection that you can give your children. Talk to them and show interest in what they are doing. ;o)

Earth Hour! Let's join the party ;o)

I think the poster says it all. Amazing how easy it will be for us to show some solidarity for the desire to save our planet. This planet after all is the only one we have. Unless Tom Cruise has some information that we don't have. ;o) (A friend at http://lakbaydiva.com/ posted about this. I agree that this is something worth spreading.)
