SHOCKING VIDEO!!

 Bystanders walk on by while 7 year old is abducted.

This was a test undercover video to see how adults would react when witnessing an abduction. The results are shocking

 

Message from LostNMissing:

Teaching children to scream “You’re not my dad!”…is not always the wise thing nowadays. Bystanders may think it’s a step parent and the child is unruly.

Teach your children to yell the truth…“He’s KIDNAPPING ME, HELP ME!”

This is a very important video to watch. PLEASE talk with your children about the importance of “sexting.”

Talk to them about “sexting”, (sending provocative or nude photos via text message with cell phone or webcameras.)

Also talk with them about  not showing their developing bodies to others on webcams…no matter if it is “their boyfriend or girlfriend.”

Make a rule. Those under the age of 16 should not have a webcam on their computers unless it is in the middle of the family room where others are present. I understand many like webcams as parents or loved ones may live a distance and it is a great way to communicate live…but please, not in the privacy of their bedrooms.

YOU as a parent have this control to PREVENT a very COMMON practice that children and teens are doing. ANY child / teen can get caught up in this. Talk with your children.

This beautiful child, Amanda Todd, is presenting a very important story of her own experiences and life that all parents, preteens and teens should watch.   Amanda endured every situation that parents are warned about.  From”sexting online via a webcam in a private message  to having her peers bully her. She switched schools numerous times. She suffered from major depression, anxiety and tried to commit suicide. The man she met online stalked her and continued to show a video of her breasts that she showed him. Everywhere she went and settled into a new school…that video would show up. Kids teased her and bullied her. She started drinking, drugs and even cutting herself…until she could take it no more. She made this video. She is not talking, but flashing her story for all to read. This time, she succeeded and committed suicide.

 Sexting , Texting and your PreTeen and Teenager:

sexting_feature_1.jpg

Did you know that under the age of 18 should your child send a nude photo of themselves that is breaking the law? The child pornography laws come into play.

Did you know that MANY preteens and teens send photos of themselves whether semi nude or entirely nude as a common practice among teens?

Scary.
What seems like an innocent, flirtatious teenage gesture — sending an explicit picture of yourself to a boyfriend — could land you in way more trouble than you imagine.

Hear the story of Phillip Alpert, who sent out sexually explicit pictures of his underage girlfriend when he was an 18-year-old, which led to his arrest on child-pornography charges.

If you or someone you know is a victim of digital abuse, get help now.

 REMEMBER:  Sending photos via a cell phone can put your child in danger from a stalker or potential child molester, as well...LostNMissing, Inc

Article by the FBI:  Sexting

Juvenile sexting is increasing in frequency.1 A recent study found that 20 percent of teenagers (22 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys) sent naked or seminude images of themselves or posted them online.2 Another survey indicated that nearly one in six teens between the ages of 12 and 17 who own cell phones have received naked or nearly nude pictures via text message from someone they know.3

Many disturbing examples of such behavior exist. For instance, two 15-year-olds, a male and a female, were sentenced in juvenile court for possessing and sending nude photos on their cell phones; the girl sent a picture of herself to the boy, and another image allegedly was taken on his camera.4 A 15-year-old boy received 12 months of probation for forwarding a picture of his private parts to a 13-year-old girl’s cell phone….CLICK TO READ MORE

Advice for Young People

Think about the consequences of taking, sending, or forwarding a sexual picture of yourself or someone else underage. You could get kicked off of sports teams, face humiliation, lose educational opportunities, and even get in trouble with the law.

Never take images of yourself that you wouldn’t want everyone—your classmates, your teachers, your family, or your employers—to see.

Before hitting send, remember that you cannot control where this image may travel. What you send to a boyfriend or girlfriend easily could end up with their friends, and their friends, and their friends.

If you forward a sexual picture of someone underage, you are as responsible for this image as the original sender. You could face child pornography charges, go to jail, and have to register as a sex offender.

Report any nude pictures you receive on your cell phone to an adult you trust. Do not delete the message. Instead, get your parents or guardians, teachers, and school counselors involved immediately.

SAFETY IS NOT JUST ABOUT CHILDREN!

“FRIENDS DON’T LEAVE FRIENDS ALONE”

LostNMissing Inc is promoting an awareness campaign across the country from 2013 – 2015. “Friends Don’t Let Friends Leave Alone” is an important message to help safeguard that YOUR friends will make it home safely. Our Organization assists families of missing and it is far too often those missing may have been saved had they not left an establishment on their own. It is no longer safe to tell your friends you are leaving early and taking a taxi home. This is not to have anyone feel guilty that they didn’t accompany one whose life was lost from leaving alone…but to promote the awareness and educate our young adults on the importance to always be tandem. Be wise..be smart. If a friend is drinking too much we all know not to ride with them…but take that extra step and dont allow them to leave alone…take their keys. When a group outing and one decides they want to “cut out” early? Be the friend that says “Give me a second and I will leave with you.” Anything can happen. Should you need to leave early….ask one of your friends to depart with you. Please help us spread this message by having this posted in every public drinking establishment. Let’s save lives!
