This is a group designed to inform, discuss, and protect our most precious gift: children. Anyone who would like to post information about protecting children from any form of abuse, warnings about convicted predators/abusers that are on the loose, questions about how to keep children safe and spot problems with adults in the child's life, information on missing and exploited children, etc.... is free to do so. You are also more than welcome to share your own ordeals if you, yourself, are a survivor. There is a topic titled "Survivor Stories" for this purpose.
There is a simple rule that is designed to keep this forum a safe haven for all involved and all who pass by and may need guidance or help:
RESPECT: Please be respectful of others. This is NOT a debate forum. This is a place where child safety comes FIRST. Regardless of differences of opinions elsewhere, most people can agree that the safety of children is more important. Following this simple rule will help to keep things civil.
Please note: This group is a continuation of the work done by Nightshadow and Rain. I've agreed to take over ownership and administration of this group at their request because I feel it is so important. We need to keep our children safe. We need more groups like this. In an effort to get the word out, I have copied this group in several different networking sites on the web.
If you find the information here informative, please join the group and invite others. For those folks that you are uncomfortable inviting to a Pagan group, feel free to copy and paste any information into an email to them, or email links to sites we've linked to. The more people that have this information, the fewer victims there will be! I firmly believe this. The child of an informed parent is a safer child. Even the children of others around you will be safer for having one more aware person around them. The main purpose of this group is to spread the word, to inform others of tactics used by child predators. The more people arm themselves with the facts and ways to combat this problem, the safer all of our children will be.
