May 4th It’s a “Stop the Violence” (part 4) Day
LORD GOD, HELP US TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO STOP THE VIOLENCE AND SAVE THE CHILDREN. AMEN.
Here are some specific things that we all can do to help stop violence. Some can be done right away while others may take some time. Some suggestions don’t need any help, but others need advice and/or help from local or national groups.
TEN Things To Teach Children:
1) Settle arguments with words, not fist or weapons. Don’t stand around and form an audience when others are arguing. A group makes a good target for violence.
2) Learn safe routes for walking in the neighborhood, and know good places to seek help. Trust feelings and if there’s a sense of danger, get away fast.
3) Report any crimes or suspicious actions to the police, school authorities and parents. Be willing to testify if needed.
4) Don’t open the door to anyone they don’t know and trust. Never go anywhere with someone they don’t know and trust.
5) If someone tries to abuse them, they should say no, get away and tell a trusted adult. Remember, it’s not the victims’ fault.
6) Don’t use alcohol or other drugs and stay away from places and people associated with them.
7) Stick with friends who are against violence and drugs, and stay away from known trouble spots.
8) Get involved with activities that make school safer and better, such as: poster contest against violence/drugs, holding anti-drug and violence rallies, counseling peers, settling disputes peacefully. If there’s no program, help start one!
9) Help younger children learn to avoid being crime victims. Set a good example and volunteer to help with community efforts to stop crime.
10) Moreover teach your children about God, love, goodness, faith, hope, forgiveness and prayer.
Yes, the problem of violence is a problem for all of us. Deep in my heart I do believe we can solve it if we realize and remember that: “Nobody can do Everything, but Everybody can do Something and if Everybody is doing Something then Everything will get done!” AMEN SOMEBODY! So what are you going to do to help stop the violence?
