    Child Safety Online
    Apr 21 2026
    WARNING: The subject matter, and the content itself, can be triggering. I include this so you can be informed, but use prayerful discretion when it comes to how much you really need to know to be loving and helpful for your family, children, and community.

After five, eight, fourteen reported violations the perpetrator will still be active, and only after the seventeenth will the account be taken down. Wild. The good news is, there are a lot of ways to have fun at the pace of real life. I'm currently on a kick about seeing students get a chance for 6th grade camp again.

    3. Is the fruit good?
