Child Predators and Technology

By CHICKMELIONfreelance

Statistics show that more than three-forth's of violent crimes against children occurred either in the offender’s home or in the victim’s place of residence. It would be prudent then to get the heads up for potential threats in your neighborhood, or child's play areas. According to the US Department of justice bureau , on any given day there are approximately 234,000 sex offenders who were convicted and are either in custody or allegedly on parole or control of corrections agencies.

To address this situation,Thin Air Wireless has an on the go application for the Apple iPhone (version 2.0) that can give parents an upper hand in monitoring their child’s safety. It is called the “Offender Locator iPhone Application.” This company specializes in innovative GPS location technology, and have now added to their product line an application that can:display a list of sex crime convicts in any given area; allows parents to receive updates when an offender moves into the area; search friend’s neighborhoods via the address book ; or if traveling one can type in a street address to generate a list.

The benefits from this product is two fold: aside from the obvious peace of mind that is at the finger tips any time any where; the company has also structured a means of collecting 10% of the proceeds and redirecting these funds towards supporting philanthropic organizations dedicated to addressing the critically important issue of child predators in America through outreach, education and advocacy.

The information provided by the application is for public safety and intended to be used to protect those who may be at risk and is not intended for the purposes of punishing the offender. Remember it is also considered a crime to engage in discrimination or harassment against a registered sex offender and may put you at risk of facing criminal prosecution and /or civil action. If you have information related to any violations of probation of any offender in your neighborhood, report it right away.

On another technological front, here is the heads up on a program called “Street View." It is a web-based program that allows users to search Google Maps for residences, businesses and other geographic locations. It then delivers what its name implies - highly-magnified, 360-degree panoramic street-level photographic images of those addresses. In essence it has the potential to allows anyone from the comfort of their home to view photographic images of the most likely route your child walks to school, or to calculate the distance between your front door and your child's school bus stop. After you assess your neighborhood risk level, you might want to consider asking Google to take the picture of your property off of their Google Street View program. Don’t get me wrong, this application is a good tool when used properly, and is very useful for a stranger trying to find their way around in an unfamiliar city. Google is more than willing and able to restrict access to Street View images upon request.

Recognizing the threats and being pro active is the best forms of protecting your children in this ever changing and evolving technological environment. It also can give you peace of mind and the freedom of movement knowing that your safety is not only your priority.

WHEN I LEARN TO FLY


When I Learn To Fly...
I am a well crafted, amply blessed, lovingly painted, hand molded soul.
Made by ONE... as a unique entity in a universe of unique entities.
For the time being I am apprenticing in the safety of a molecular body,
( I look at it as protective gear for a game called life.)
I am charged with for the most part positive energy,
which I learn to regenerate from both heaven and earth.
Thus I learn to honor Father and Mother.
I am a replica of the universe.
I demonstrate to myself and to those who look at me,
the unity and balance that we all are.
Many in one... and one in many.
Working in conjunction yet as individuals; ever moving, ever evolving, ever changing, ever growing and ever seeking universal balance.
I am learning to be in this fluidity without being a harm.
Kicking at the "Oneness" .
Causing it to be off balance by my choices.
I learn the universal rule, "seek balance as a singular entity".
I learn not to be a free-radical that threatens.
I learn there is nothing new under the sun,
all is cyclical, for us all to learn.
I am taught that as bacteria threatens a molecular body, (as my eyes behold)....
my choices threaten the heavenly body, (as my spiritual eye beholds.)
I am as you are... and as all children born are;
proof that our creator has not lost faith in us.
Has not given up on mankind.
That all is not for nothing.
I am freedom of choice.
I am learning by freedom of choice.
I am free to build or destroy.
I am free to in a molecular state see the consequences of these choices.
Feel the consequences.
This choice is not infringed upon by He who crafted me.
It is His tool, as a wise parent, which allows me to taste, test, and see the integrity of positive by knowing negative.
For how then can I know the fullness of joy unless I have something to measure it with?
How then can I appreciate my soul unless it is bound by my molecular shroud?
By the wisdom of ONE, I am ever growing to a point where I will no longer need my shroud of a body to protect me.
I will have learned to be a heavenly body....
I will have learned to make my foot print light.

I will have learned to fly.....

I'm Gonna Try Peace

by ,


Gonna lay my head down in the sand,
let the wind blow over my face.
Gonna render my body to the land,
and give it my sweet tears to taste.
Gonna lay my sword down on the soil
I am not going to swing it no more,
I have nothing to show for all the toil,
been stalemated , “settling the score.”
Gonna put my hands behind my back,
and let the will of heaven flow,
pray for some mercy to put me on track,
and refresh a weary parched soul.
Going to pick up a staff to hold instead,
and try to walk a mile in bare feet.
Gonna listen to what history has said
and pound my drum to a different beat.
Hold words in my mouth of a different plan,
and learn a whole different speech.
Gonna hold them to action as best as I can…
this time I gonna try PEACE!

There is a claim that miracles
are the fancy of imaginations;
and indeed they will be
if you are not open to receive them.
If you hold no faith,
if you do not use your eyes to see them,
if your definition is to tightly wrapped.
All these blocking the vital energy
that all miracles flow on.

You can not see
if you do not look!.
No one will hear you
if you do not speak.
Indeed you will not be tested ,
if you do not stand up for something,
but again....
you will never need a miracle either!
Nor will you experience the euphoria
of being blessed by one ,
unless you put yourself out there in faith,
standing firm in your convictions.

Life is a miracle in it's self,
and you would be squandering your life
unless you put yourself out there as well
