Children grow up to be Realtors. Realtors have children.

Children grow up to be Realtors. Realtors have children.

I am a very very ,very, very young grandmother. (ha)  I keep telling myself that. My g-kids go to school every day and see signs along the corridor that tell them NO FIREARMS ALLOWED.  They sit and watch as schools are taken over by nut cases whether they be adults or children. My daughter will not let them out of her sight and if one goes to a restroom outside the home they are required to team it with an adult in sight. They are strongly taught to say NO.

I am an advocate of the AMBER ALERT and the ADAM ALERT. Our children are the promise of our future. The adults that abuse the innocence God so lovingly gave to our children are due their punishment. We should all be on the lookout for predators.Deb thinking.

So, I was thinking..........

 

Why don't we TEAM IT FOR THE AMBER ALERT??

If I start an AMBER ALERT group would you join?

What we need are Active Rain Volunteers in all groups and in all states to join in.

I put out my own alerts when I see one come across my computer. But, I am only able to post these alerts to 5 groups.

We now have nearly 94,000 members and what an impact we could make for our children!

We have nearly 4,000 groups.

THERE ARE NO POST POINTS FOR AN AMBER ALERT. IT DOES NOT TAKE 50 WORDS TO POST. IT TAKES TWO MINUTES OF YOUR TIME TO HELP AND TO KNOW YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE. I WILL PROVIDE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE!

Review a few of these statistics.......

How many missing children are there?

The U.S. Department of Justice reports:

  • 797,500 children (younger than 18) were reported missing in a one-year period of time studied resulting in an average of 2,185 children being reported missing each day.
  • 203,900 children were the victims of family abductions.
  • 58,200 children were the victims of non-family abductions.
  • 115 children were the victims of "stereotypical" kidnapping. (These crimes involve someone the child does not know or someone of slight acquaintance, who holds the child overnight, transports the child 50 miles or more, kills the child, demands ransom, or intends to keep the child permanently.
