Operation Safety Net

This is very dark so I’m going to delete some of it but worth discussing because this is how human trafficking works. It’s scary and real.... This includes instagram PLEASE READ AND PLEASE BE AWARE! A guy sends you a friend request. He looks nice enough, so you check him out on FB before accepting. Awe, he’s got a wife and just the Cutest Kids. You don't know him; but, he's a Family Man and his profile and info is all good; so you accept his friend request.... It's your baby girl's first day of school. She looks SO cute in her new outfit and you just have to take a picture and post it on Facebook so all your friends and family can see. You're so excited dropping her off that you 'Check in' to her school on FB saying...I can't believe how big she's gotten. Time sure flies. One proud momma/daddy right here. Meanwhile, the mystery guy whose friend request you hurriedly accepted previously, is saving that photo you posted of your daughter in her cute new outfit, to his phone and texting it to 60 other grown men across the world with the caption - American Female, Age 8, Brown Hair, Blue Eyes, ID# R8000. Not only did you provide a picture of your little girl to a child trafficker, you've handed him the name and exact location of her school on a silver cyber platter. You go to pick her up at 3:00 this afternoon; but, she's nowhere to be found. Little do you know, your precious baby was sold <....redacted...> But, now you know STOP ADDING STRANGERS ON FACEBOOK!!!

Wise Advice from a Farmer's Wife Whenever you return a borrowed pie pan, make sure it's got a warm pie in it. Invite lots of folks to supper. You can always add... more water to the soup. There's no such thing as woman's work on a farm. There's just work. Make home a happy place for the children. Everybody returns to their happy place. Always keep a small light on in the kitchen window at night. If your man gets his truck stuck in the field, don't go in after him. Throw him a rope and pull him out with the tractor. Keep the kerosene lamp away from the the milk cow's leg. It's a whole lot easier to get breakfast from a chicken than a pig. Always pat the chickens when you take their eggs. It's easy to clean an empty house, but hard to live in one. All children spill milk. Learn to smile and wipe it up. Homemade's always better'n store bought. A tongue's like a knife. The sharper it is the deeper it cuts. A good neighbor always knows when to visit and when to leave. A city dog wants to run out the door, but a country dog stays on the porch 'cause he's not fenced-in. Always light birthday candles from the middle outward. Nothin' gets the frustrations out better'n splittn' wood. The longer dress hem, the more trusting the husband. Enjoy doing your children's laundry. Some day they'll be gone. You'll never catch a runnin' chicken but if you throw seed around the back door you'll have a skillet full by supper. Biscuits brown better with a little butter brushed on 'em. Check your shoelaces before runnin' to help somebody. Visit old people who can't get out. Some day you'll be one. The softer you talk, the closer folks'll listen. The colder the outhouse, the warmer the bed. PLEASE REMEMBER EVERYONE!: Say something when you see a post you like! *saying anything is fine* it helps you KEEP seeing them every day!
