The World Wide Web is only limited by our imagination. Where is it going and what’s its capacity? And what’s the new Generation-Net going to be dealing with? Talk about a reality world… not everyone is who they say they are or has the best intentions.
“It’s up to parents to be there to explain,” says Leasure. “The first and last line of defense is and always will be at home, not on a social networking website with millions of world wide users.”

David and I had a wonderful guest on today’s show his name was Carlos Flores, he is a Registered Nurse with over 20 years experience in pediatric emergency and trauma care. He is the Trauma Coordinator for Children’s Hospital Central California in Madera, County. Carlos has researched and spoken extensively on the Choking Game throughout the San Joaquin Valley in the hopes of raising awareness among parents, health care workers, and professional groups who work with children.
Carlos’ list of credentials are very impressive, but what is more impressive is how much he cares about the youth of his community and all youth everywhere, as evidence of his willingness to come on our CHWradio.com live show and take an 1 and 1/2 hours of his very precious time… to share with us his knowledge and experience. Please take the time and listen to the show or download it and listen at your leisure…
The Choking Game is a high risk activity being played by pre-teen and teen kids. This activity causes a self induced loss of consciousness by hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and is responsible for hundreds of deaths worldwide.
There are a variety of methods that are used, all legal and seemingly innocuous, including a method using ligatures. The first step in prevention is awareness.
Listen to his interview here:
Over the past few months, almost every week, David and I have asked our guests, what is the one thing that as parents we can do to help protect our children from the depths of darkness on the internet and we have asked policemen what to do to keep our children safe online and offline and they all have said the same thing!!!
COMMUNICATION
Time and time again we are reminded that communication is the KEY to solving most of the problems with our children… and it’s not US telling… it’s US listening, and listening every single time our children want US to help them. When we get in the habit of ignoring them that’s when we open the door to not hearing them when they really need help. The odds are that they will not ask US when they really need US the MOST!!!

Today in Myanmar, 2.5 million people cling to survival after the disaster that hit two weeks ago. The latest state television update in former Burma has declared the death toll after the May 2nd cyclone to be 77,738 people. Another 55,917 are still reported missing.* Thousands swarm the roadsides of a country void of the foreign aid it so desperately needs. Children, destitute and orphaned, are picked up by vicious traffickers prowling the disaster area.
This week, David Batstone travels to Myanmar to approach the crisis situation.
Last Fall, Not For Sale partnered with Thai Abolitonist Kru Nam to build a shelter for 125 kids rescued out of the sex trade industry. Today, she implores us to intervene again as Burmese children trafficked into Thailand are being rampantly sold.
Not For Sale, this week, has partnered with a foundation that will match EVERY DOLLAR we donate, up to $25,000. Our goal is to raise $50k in the next two weeks. The shelter will be on the border between former Burma and Thailand, and will provide the critical care necessary to rescue Burmese orphans out of slavery. Kru Nam’s village, as is, cannot support one of the growing needs in this crisis. But together, we believe we can raise enough money that can.

I was riding with my son in our Bronco the other day and he said; “that I had to watch out, there was a cop up there!”
And this really made think that our children sometimes have the wrong impression about law enforcement and cops in general… and what we teach our children by our thoughts and action, also the media’s portrayal is a lot of time, in a negative light…
So, here is what I told my son, “that may be true but I am here to tell you that when you need a cop it is nice to know that they are only 1 call away!!!”
Hence the tile:
Living the Life, When you need a cop you are only 1 call away…
We meet someone on our radio show that has lived the life of a policeman and has done so for thirty years. Please listen to this interview as retired policeman Bob Mack shares his wisdom and stories, experiences as a Major Crime Investigator and his knowledge with us, to help Keep Our Children Safe…
Thanks to Bob, we have a great segment on what it is, to be a part of the solution…
Bob shared some personal tips to Keep Our Children Safe:
1. Be involved with your child, know what they are doing.
2. Listen to what your child is saying.
3. Know where your children are.
4. Have a safety plan, a place mutually agreed upon, where they can go to as a safe place.
5. Agree upon alternate safe individuals to go to.
6. Keep the computer in a common area.
7. Keep your children busy with healthy and positive activities.
8. Monitor your child’s activity on the computer; know where they’ve been and where they’re going on the computer.
