How to Stay Safer

How You Can Stay Safer

And Prepare With Knowledge 

You Didn't Even Know You Needed

With the world in the state that it's in, it's even more important to protect yourself and your children. 

Not by being afraid, but having information needed to take care of things if an emergency were to happen.

This includes staying safer from family members, entertainment industry, people in the educational system, sexual exploitaion, trafficking, grooming and other areas of subject that seem to upset people in a variety of ways.

Hi there, 

I'm Mrs. Rita to many young people,

There are other names and we won't go into that now.

Many years ago I wrote about, taught, went in to schools in the small communities in and around the small communities in the area we lived.  My husband, children and myself shared how children could stay safer from those who want to harm them. 

Back then I had an editor, I'm not worrying about that anymore, there are some things too important and there's no time to waste. 

During those years I began to understand the catastrophic problem with abuse, especially with women and the most innocent, the children. Men were seldom mentioned; this could be that most men never report these crimes against themselves and humanity. 

No, it's not just about one person. 

The abuser has a lust that he or she cannot contain or control. One that takes over them without discretion at times and or lack of discipline. 

They continue to abuse; while they tell you that they love you. 

They tell you that you can't tell anyone else or you won't be together anymore. 

They tell you not to tell anyone or they will kill something. Your cat, friend, parent or some stuffed animal you shared too much knowledge about online. 

Part truth. Part Lie. 

They love what they can get from you.

They will go to prison so no, you won't be together anymore. 

They want to control you with fear so they conquer and break you.

You are ONLY being used. 

You're not alone. 

There are millions hurting and not understanding. There are many that want to get out. Live a different life away from abuse you can never speak about. Hold it all inside so maybe it will just go away.

What I found:

At that time, 20+ yrs. ago, the average boy was molested 1 out of 6 boys. Those where only the crimes according to the records. The average girl was 1 out of 5 girls if memory serves me. These were children from the earliest of ages including infants and toddlers up to 18 yrs. of age. 

Those were stats I was unwilling to sit still over and I began to write even more. This led to speaking in homes, and small family gatherings with Christian and Homeschool families. 

Over the years I watched my own children subject to these crimes against children even in one of the homes we were speaking in - an older child there was targeting my daughter because she was the new kid. 

Without understanding what we were there for the child proceeded to try to get my very shy and quiet little precious child to participate in something she understood was wrong. She may have been 6 or so. 

While I was speaking, I heard my little poptart say "NO!", "I Said NO!" very sternly and loudly which she never ever did: and I took off running. 

I already knew the signs and my two miracle children had learned early how to stay a little bit safer. 

The Yello Dyno

When they were young I found a child safety program called the Yello Dyno that teaches children in a very non threatening way how to stay safe.

Unlike the other programs for children out there, the researcher, author and speaker, Jan found that even when children have the information, they still froze under fear.

She went into the prisons and asked over 100 child predators what they did to get the children. 

Each predator had their own story and skills.

Working with the authority, surviors of crimes, the prisoners information, statistics and determination she wrote for the safety of children and families everywhere.

Get Two Copies of Your Child's Fingerprints

The first is a finger print pkg. and book. Get your children printed while they're young and keep a copy in a post office box and one in your home. 

Finger print your children: This is just in case. We never know if something is going to happen we just pray and hope we never have to experience this type of horror.

One thing is for sure, if you have a copy of your child's fingerprints, you can get it to the proper authorities more quickly.

The Yello Dyno - Child Safety Products

These are older videos but as much needed today as then. I'm not sure if there's still a site or products outside of what I found. Reach out to her and see if she still has a website.

Tricky People

Dearest Jan,

If you ever come across this page, I will forever be greatful to you and your determination. My fries will always be your fries too. You came and sat with me at a conference you spoke at with other celebrities and actors. At some point you came to the back where I was and sat down next to me. We shared fries together and I will always appreciate your warmth and kindness during that small fraction of time.

Thank you for having a part in saving my own child but millions of others as well.

The information Here is from an interview I was listening to 

and know I have to share it. 

This is for the stronger person and at times difficult to hear. 

MEN must hear this information. 

This about the spiritual implications.

You'll need a Spiral Notebook with 3 sections, envelope type of 
Get a 3-5 Subject Notebook with pockets as many pages as you can find. *this isn't the one I use but it's the closest I could find. I use Mead with a heavier pocket. It's the best one I've seen out there so it's my personal preference. To get started grab the one above. Later find one with a good sturdy pocket for holding your notes, ideas written on napkins, and anything else you feel should go into the pockets. You may want to go ahead and tape the corners and edges of the pockets for more secure hold. I do this on mine also because these are my thoughts and I don't want to loose them. 

Grab your pen and notebook and dive in:
Ask yourself and write down physically, in the notebook.
* While you're checking out these creators, remember they are building something with their hands, minds, ideas and time. What do you see they're not seeing? 
* Take note of these things while you're writing about each person

    * What makes their page stand out the moment you see it?
    * Are Links clearly labeled on their page?

What does the above have to do with the below?

Well take a look at some of the information on the link above. Do you have gifts and talents, skills or a creative flow that could somehow fit? 

 The general idea is to be creative and find ways to help other people as well as help yourself and family in some way.

If you're just completely unsure ask yourself:

"What do I know that I can help people with:  ____________________ ?"

If you're a cowboy, there's cowboyin' stuff you can teach. Everything from cooking outdoors, to tying knots and putting new shoes on that old mare. 

Don't forget about bailing hay, birthing babies, chicks and ducks, and problems with gardening and bugs. Your information can help so many.

The online world has yet to see all the survival information, canning, building, gardening and keeping water clean but there are some folks out there that can do all of that. Those that can't do any of it can learn from those that can. 

In some places around the world, people may not have an income, but they trade what they do have, to pay for what is needed. People have been 'trading' items and services for many years. 

There are groups of farmers around the world fighting desertification and using rainwater to help rebuild the deserts around their fields. 

Their water ideas and investments have been found profitable. Though this link only gives one method there are many viable sources.

"Who Brought the Waters?" 

The farmers in parts of India are learning water economics through harvesting as well as putting back into dried out wells, and desolate land. 

 Raghunath, India is teaching people how to make ponds for new harvests and some as much as 95% success. Some families are able to use the water again and life is changing for a once desolate water supply and land.

Rainwater Economics - How it works 

Bhagirath Krishak Abhiyan was awarded Water Conservation for Food Security  I can't remember offhand all the details but I have to share it just the same__ as one of the three finalists for:

Category I

If you are a crafter and can find ways to work along the lines of what this man is doing, it's possible there is a market for that and you'll be able to add those type of products to etsy as well. 

How Does Water Harvesting and Crafting Go Together? 

He took what he knew and he did something with that knowledge  - that's it. 

This information he needed to learn along with the obstacles made a difference in his community and the world.
