Did you wear red today as it's Day for Daniel Day? For our international readers, today is a National Day of Action to promote children's personal safety. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was introduced in 2005 when their 13yo son was abducted and murdered in December 2003. Only this year the remains of the child was found.
The primary school has participated in a day for Daniel. Most of the students wore some form of red clothing, made a gold coin donation and got involved with activities. Red cheerios were on sale at tuckshop today too. All the money raised today will go to to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation. For further details, check out this website: http://www.dayfordaniel.com.au/
My daughter who attends primary school still, told me a policeman come into her school this week to discuss to all students about their personal safety. It's frightening when you think about safety of our kids in this generation. Back to the good old days of the 70s and the 80's we didn't really have an issue like today. Most of us would of been out on the streets or playground playing before and after school. And was told to come home at sunset. Today our kids can't do that because you don't know what kind of eyes are watching them nearby. Also we as parents need to think about our kids being on the internet because cyperspace isn't really a safe place for kids anymore neither.
