After all the years of being taught “Stranger Danger,” it may come as a surprise to know that the opposite comes more recommended. In child abduction cases, most perpetrators are known to the victim. Therefore, it is important to know who your child is with, to be aware of who may have access to your child, to understand that a child’s definition of “stranger” may be different than yours, and so on. For example: Would your child know that accepting a ride from an acquaintance, perhaps someone you regularly chat with when you see them at the store, is unsafe?

What I learned is that we are pretty much the same type of people, (Responsible) we were both raised by loving parents and grandparents that taught us both about being good and honest, teaching us about respect, and to love one another and that our families come first right after God and our Country… and that this great land was built of the principles of our Forefathers… and that Justice will prevail and that the truth will set us FREE! These are great lessons to learn when you are young and your parents can only do so much to impart these life lessons, then it is left up to us to choose for ourselves how we treat our fellow man… and HOW we SERVE them as well!!!

Accessing a maliciously designed website with low security settings on your web browser is enough to infect you with Trojan horses, viruses, spyware, or other backdoor creating programs. An unprotected web browser on an unprotected PC can become infected within minutes of connecting to the Internet. You can defend your PC and your surfing experience by locking down your web browser and controlling what features you allow to function. Taking this control now will prevent another virus writer taking control of it later.
