Child Exploitation has multiplied exponentially siince this administration has actively pushed the WOKE agenda against Parents and Our Children.

Requests to share nudes?  It happens younger than you think.

If you’ve read Thorn’s latest research report, then you know that kids are navigating online grooming and receiving requests for nudes often at far younger ages than many people think.

But despite a majority of parents thinking they should talk with their children about sharing nudes before the age of 13, only 1 in 5 parents have done so.

To compound the issue, kids often face shame and blame as they recover from negative digital experiences.  This can exacerbate the harm they experience and further isolate kids who are in trouble.

So where does that leave kids and their parents?   How can parents gain confidence to have these difficult conversations early and often with their children?

Enter Thorn for Parents – a digital resource hub designed to help parents have earlier, more frequent, and judgment-free conversations with kids about digital safety.

Protect Your Children From Predators:
The Secret Password –
Please Pass It Forward!

By: Kait King

I am very proud to introduce Ms Kait King, a True Writer Extraordinaire.

I don’t mind telling everyone that I have been Blessed every way possible, since starting that little one page gift to Google+ and all it’s users very near 8 years ago, and Ms Kate King is one of those Blessings, a very Large Blessing to be exact.

Unlike all the times I have shared this, apparently the whole original story is no longer available on Ms King’s site, The Writer’s Blogk, but please go there and read Ms King’s work!  THANK YOU SO MUCH Ms Kait King!

I met Ms King shortly after I opened our website.  I can tell you what I remember from back then: Ms King was a very good writer, and well educated.  But I was glad that I wasn’t standing in front of her, because I was humbled to tears.  This very special Lady was as good a Parent and Mother, as any that has ever walked this earth…  and I stand by my words today.  There was only one thing that struck me as odd, she was working on a project with the name of “The 3 Pigs”.

Thank You all for reading, and when you are finished reading this unforgetable story, please do as Ms King wishes: Please Pass It On!

A copy of a letter I sent to all of the primary schools to save children – simple and super effective!  Please pass it on

My son is 29 years old now and it has always amazed me at how many parents through those many years, and even now, who have no idea about the concept of the Secret Password.

I used to work as a National Intelligence Support Officer for the police.  I have had projects that have highlighted the danger our children are in while getting to and from school and this is an issue which is not going to go away.  I have a simple solution that may help to keep children safer than they are now.

My son was five and starting school, and with my background and experience I was very aware of the dangers of kerb crawlers and people who would snatch kids from off the street.  So I devised this password plan, my son picked the word – at the time he believed he was allergic to zucchinis’ as he detested them so much so that became our Secret Password.

This password meant that if I was unable to pick him up from school and had to send someone whom he was not familiar with, or a stranger altogether even, if they knew that Secret Password it was ok to get in the car and go with them.  If the person did not know the Secret Password my son was to drop his school backpack and run like the devil was after him, (which would be the case), straight back into the school grounds and to the principal’s office.

He only had to use this once, and because he did run, he is still here and I am not writing this letter to you out of a sad and broken story where the solution is all but too late.

But I write this out of a realisation that something so very simple could help to protect children, our children, for they are all of our children and we all need to be responsible for helping to keep them safe.  I hope you find some benefit in this little gem and hand it out to all parents and caregivers and tell all that you can please, so that this safety net is in place.  I thank you for your time to read this and thank you also, for teaching our children and caring for them.

With the most sincerest intent and with regards
Kait King, BA Crim.

Support AFA, No Liberal Ideology

Jonathon Koeppel is a champion that parents should applaud and an inspirational example to other teachers…

Brave teacher tells school board:
Teach education, not left wing ideas

A Louisiana high school teacher laid it on the line recently when he correctly told the local school board that gender identity education was “liberal ideology” that is creeping into New Orleans area classrooms.

Jonathan Koeppel, a third-year Spanish teacher, played a clip from a lesson used by students called “BrainPop,” in which children are directed to stop using personal pronouns like “he” and “she” and begin using gender neutral words like “they.”

While addressing the school board, he said, “This isn’t a political indoctrination camp, it’s public education.”  His full address can be heard in viral video circulating the web.

“I was really shocked when I found out that a children’s program was promoting this idea that there are infinite genders to children,” Koeppel told the Daily Caller.  “When I saw this was happening, I realized that kids in my area were being exposed to this; I said you know what, I am not going to be quiet about it.  I am going to make a very firm stance.”

More and more educators are beginning to stand up and speak out against social experimentation and the indoctrination of public school children into “progressive” ideology.

Jonathon Koeppel is a champion that parents should applaud and an inspirational example to other teachers who want to see common sense teaching returned to the classroom.

TAKE ACTION

Sign our note of encouragement to Jonathan Koeppel, thanking him for his leadership in speaking out against teaching programs and curriculum that undermine the trust that parents put in public education.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Also, check out the powerful video, In His Image: Delighting in God’s Plan for Gender and Sexuality, from American Family Studios.  So many families are privately struggling with issues of transgenderism, same-sex attraction, and sexual brokenness.  Many pastors and small group leaders desire to reach out with compassion and truth to those who are struggling, but they don’t even know where to begin.  This feature-length documentary from American Family Studios is now available for church screenings at no cost to you.

Nancy Pelosi’s Election Bill Will DESTROY Free And Fair Elections!

Democrats radical agenda to
federalize state elections

The top legislative priority of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is to launch an assault against the First Amendment and against free and fair elections. Without these foundational freedoms, America will be unable to maintain her democratic republic.

Take action now before it’s too late and let your voice be heard.  Tell your U.S. senators and representative to publicly oppose and vote against the expansion of government regulation and censorship of state elections.

TAKE ACTION NOW

The House version (H.R. 1) and Senate version (S. 1) of Pelosi’s and Schumer’s bills are deceptively named the “For the People Act.”  Their bills are not about the citizenry but about Democrats preserving and cementing political power.  They would remove the constitutional authority of the individual states to run federal elections and put that power into the hands of those in the U.S. Congress and the administrative state.

These deceptive and destructive bills would require non-profit organizations like American Family Association to publicly disclose financial donors’ names to the federal government.  These names would then be made available to the public and searchable on government websites.  Names of donors could then be used, for example, to publicly intimidate those whose religious convictions define marriage as being between one man and one woman, or those who believe that sex is a fixed biological reality established at conception.  Such an act of intimidation of donors would harm the ability of non-profit organizations to advocate on behalf of their supporters.  These bills would weaponize the Federal Election Commission against Americans and use the force of government as a way to silence dissenting opinion.

Pelosi’s and Schumer’s versions of the bill would also federalize state elections by imposing unconstitutional mandates and would expand federal government regulation of state elections.  This agenda would violate the rights of states and their citizens to establish voter qualifications to ensure integrity at the polls by enforcing “progressive” laws on voter identification, absentee ballots, and mail-in voting.

Heritage Foundation has provided a good analysis of the “For the People Act.”  You can read it here.

The U.S. Congress could be voting on these bills soon.  Before it’s too late, let your voice be heard and tell your U.S. senators and representative to publicly oppose and vote against H.R. 1 and S. 1.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Sincerely,
Tim Wildmon, President

Men In Lipstick, Sign The AFA Petition

RITZ Crackers is pushing the Child Predator Alphabet Group Agenda

Where there’s love, there’s family?

Ritz Crackers is attempting to normalize the transgender lifestyle by airing a commercial that has absolutely nothing to do with selling crackers.  The company’s most recent ad features a man putting on lipstick like a woman and effeminately clinging to another man, to brainwash children and adults alike by desensitizing audiences.

The ad campaign titled “Where’s there’s love, there’s family” has been airing on HGTV and is featured on Ritz’s YouTube page.  The company’s goal is to redefine family as something other than God’s biblical design for gender and sexuality.  In its own words, Ritz says, “We’re encouraging people to rethink what it means to be family.”

SIGN THE PETITION

The negative blowback against Ritz has been so bad that the company has removed the ad promotion from its Facebook page and disabled comments on its YouTube page.  Watch the ad for yourself here.

The company is collaborating with the “It Gets Better Project,” a LGBTQ+ program directed at promoting homosexuality and transgenderism to youth.  Ritz’s website states it is also donating $50,000 to help advance the LGBTQ+ agenda.

Dr. Michael Brown, host of the AFA documentary In His Image: Delighting in God’s Plan for Gender and Sexuality, clearly describes the added danger Ritz’s promotion can have on teens.  “There is so much confusion in our society today,” Dr. Brown said.  “Same-sex attraction, same-sex marriage, gay Christianity, transgender identity, what’s right, what’s wrong.”

Ritz needs to hear from you.  Supporting the transgender agenda instead of remaining neutral in the cultural war is just bad business.  If Ritz Crackers refuses to remain neutral, then Christians will vote with their pocketbooks and support companies that do.  Sign our petition to Ritz now!

TAKE ACTION

1.  Sign our petition to RITZ, urging it to drop the commercial and its agenda to redefine family, gender, and sexuality.

2.  Learn more about God’s design for gender and sexuality and how those struggling with transgenderism can find help through American Family Association’s latest documentary, In His Image.

SIGN THE PETITION

Tim
