We Need to Teach our Children how to stay SAFE

For decades, children were taught to stay away from "strangers." But this concept is difficult for children to grasp and often the perpetrator is someone the child knows. It is more beneficial to help build children's confidence and teach them to respond to a potentially dangerous situation, rather than teaching them to look out for a particular type of person.

NCMEC is the nation's resource center for protecting children. Our prevention and safety education programs and materials contain information and tips that will help you keep your children safer. The Just In Case... and Know the Rules publication series are especially important for parents and guardians.

Using the Radio Actively

If you're part of an activist group, talk radio is one of the most effective ways to reach your audience. The opportunities afforded are unparalleled.

Did you know that there are 2,000 radio hosts in the United States? So, if each one hosts a weekly two-hour program, and has one guest for each hour, then 4,000 guest slots need to be filled weekly.

Just One Moment from Just One Day

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do." - Edward Everett Hale


What will you do today?

Will you just make it through or will you make a difference through you?

Just a day, just a person, just a thing...one small thing to do...will you do it?

Will you choose to take and make the time?

Or will you, always busy you, always so much to do, choose to look the other way?

It's okay, they all say...so much to do, so little time, barely making it through...not enough time in the day...not enough time to even pray...not enough time to copy and paste an email, a single email that might forward some life enriching or changing campaign...but, it's okay...there's not enough time in the day......or so you say...


"Each time we stand up for an ideal, or act to improve the lot of others, or strike out against injustice, we send forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." - Robert Kennedy (7 June, 1966)
