Gun violence is prevalent in our community and we need to act FAST. We are losing children at higher rates. Here are some ways you can stay vigilant:
- Children need to be BUSY. Put them in any activity that will keep them AWAY from the streets. They should be busy after school and NOT on their phones. Ideally between 4-7 PM.
- Check their PHONES and BOOKBAGS. You would be surprised how many kids are walking around with weapons daily.
- Almost all kids have a finsta now. Limit their access to social media, block pages like “NYCDRILL”.
- Find a trusted adult or older student to mentor your child.
- If you allow your child to hang out, set restrictions (leave the park at a certain time ideally before the “let out”, carpool, coordinate pick up/drop offs)
- TALK TO YOUR KIDS!!!! Practice deescalation skills, the severity of their choices and behaviors, likelihood of success, and their lifespan!!!
My favorite part of resurrection is when they went back and didn’t find Jesus where they left him!! Don’t let NOBODY find you where they left you. Elevate! He got up! You can too! Nothing is too hard for my God!
My ultimate goal is to get to the place where I truly don’t care about what anyone thinks of me, but that I am proud of myself and God is pleased with me.
That’s it.
I’m thankful God has blessed me with a wonderful life & being able to wake up and do whatever I want when I want, I’m thankful for my health my parents and my family
