Pledge to keep kids safe: join SafeHomes on Facebook
Posted on 24. Nov, 2009 by kchristieh in parenting, social networking
For years, the Community Prevention Council of La Canada Flintridge has been encouraging area parents to take the following pledge:
“I will not allow minors to consume beer, wine, alcohol, or use illegal drugs in my home or on my property. I will not allow parties or gatherings in my home without proper adult supervision.”
Parents who are willing to agree to that have long been asked to join SafeHomes, an online, password-protected database that allows parents to see which other parents have agreed to the pledge, and therefore to know which homes are more likely to host safe parties and events.
This evening, Community Prevention Council chair Will Moffitt created a SafeHomes group on Facebook. People who join the group agree to abide by the pledge. For those of us who visit Facebook daily, it’ll be much easier to access than the password-protected database, and it’ll make it easy to get in touch with fellow group members.
I hope you’ll join. The more people that join, the more valuable a resource this will be.
What a great idea! I will pass this on to folks in Pleasanton.
Pleasaton, eh? LOL
I have a strange feeling that Meri and I could be good friends.
