             CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH

 

      

Healing Garden located at Holy Family Parish (1080 West Roosevelt Road, Chicago)

 

 The Office of Assistance Ministry and the Safe Environment Office along with the Healing Garden Committee hosted the Prevent Child Abuse Prayer Service at the Healing Garden.

 

One of the highlights of the service  included planting the pinwheels for prevention.

 

This symbolic gesture is designed to show the public in a very dramatic way that child abuse and neglect happen in every community and encourages each of us to focus on prevention as a part of an overall plan to break the cycle of abuse.

Parents Would App-reciate More Info

 

  

 
A new FTC staff report takes a second look at kids’ appssold in the Google Play and  Apple App stores. According to the follow-up report, most apps still don’t say anything about the information they collect. And many share kids’ personal info like geolocation or phone numbers with other companies — without telling parents. A lot of apps also include interactive features like advertising, the ability to make purchases within the app, and links to social media without disclosing. Since a lot of apps send the data they collect to relatively few companies, those companies could develop detailed profiles of kids as well, the report says.
