SAFETYNET By LoJack Helps To Locate Missing Persons
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012
Philadelphia Police say the SafetyNet for LoJack is the reason a 77-year-old male, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, was located a couple a months ago. The family enrolled their loved one in the program and he was wearing his SafetyNet braclet at the time he disappeared.
SafetyNet officials were notified, the bracelet’s frequency was activated and the Tac Air 2 system lifted off. Police say the aviation unit received a strong signal from the air, and guided the ground investigators into the location.

NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN: NSTeens and NetSmartz For Kids
Thursday, December 15th, 2011
Statistics show that one in seven kids are solicited for sex online.
This alarming statistic was recently released from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The survey says 1 in 33 kids receive aggressive online solicitations to meet in person and 34% of kids say they’ve had communication with people they don’t know. NCMEC maintains a proactive approach to protect children and teens and now they have two brand new items for children between the ages of eight and 12. The NSTeen site now has animated video and educational games for children in this age range. “Cyberbully Zombies Attack” and “Mike-tosis” both target information about technology, safety and cyber bullying prevention. Although these sites are for “tweens,” parents and teachers are encouraged to log on and educate themselves on the dangers lurking online for kids. The content is available in English and in Spanish. NSTeen is an entity of the main hub of NetSmartz.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says its CyberTipline has handled more than 903,240 calls of child sexual exploitation. According to a press release on their site, the Child Victim Identification Program has reviewed and analyzed more than 34 million pornographic images.

“One out of three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime,” according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. To help with prevention, October is officially national domestic violence abuse month and there are a growing number of resources for victims.
Peace and dignity. This is the main message of the Domestic Violence Awareness Project (DVAP). By teaming up with organizations like the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the National Domestic Violence Hotline and the National Network to End Domestic Violence all programs are striving to build campaigns that not only address the victimization of women, but also offer voices of leadership and expertise from females who have been in violent relationships. Through prevention and awareness, DVAP hopes to reach millions to inform and educate all ages about all levels of domestic violence.

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011
If your child is on Facebook and other social networking sites, you may want to check out a free parental control that monitors what they are doing.
GoGoStat is an application you can use right inside your own Facebook. Have you seen those Geico commercials, “It’s so easy a caveman can do it”? Seriously, this application really is that easy.
You will receive notifications if your child posts foul language, vulgarities, anything pertaining to drugs and cyber-bullying, sexual or otherwise unsafe activity. You will also receive notifications if your child is posting embarrassing or personal information about themselves or their families, and when they are connected to a new “friend.” The Parental Guidance will show you an in-depth chart on the age, location and information about the new friend.
GoGoStat also allows parents to print out up to the minute information about their child if they go missing. You will be able to pass over the latest photos, messages to friends, status updates and anything else your child was doing online before they vanished.
