Saviors
Who is my savior?
My savior isn't just one person.
It's the people that stand by my side,
The one’s who are there for me through thick and thin.
This group has been there for me since I first joined.
I don't know where I would be standing without their support.
They remind me of the trees..
They never stop climbing up and up,
and when we fall back we grab onto a branch for advice.
They are the members and supporters of Kids Come First.
Every single one of them helps; but not just to help children
out.
They help because they love to be around kids.
And that is what counts the most.

Kids
Come First was on the news in Florida and when we posted the broadcast in a bulletin on MySpace, we received the following
emails:
From
Sheriff Karl Daily:
HEY!!
Good Job - Good Story!!!!!
From Avery County’s Sheriff Frye:
Thanks, your program is a wonderful
opportunity to reach out to children. I am promoting this locally by media also (i.e. newspapers and radio). Thanks for all
you are doing.
From
Lt. Rowland:
That’s great! I
added the video to our site and the www.dunnpal.org main site. Keep up the good
work!
From a MySpace Friend:
WAY TO GO HON.
I LOVE IT. It’s about time something good is said about MySpace and not bad. YOU ARE
GREAT. LOVE YA.
Email
from a MySpace Friend:
Thank you! That was great news
and I'll repost it again later! That’s wonderful! People CAN make a difference!
Email
from a MySpace Friend:
Thank you so very much
for the very incredible job you are doing here on my space. We all thank you
so very much for all the kids in the world you are trying to keep safe. Keep up the amazing job you are all doing and thanks
for being a friend. Take care!
Our
program “Project LE Friends” is a huge success! Below is a comment left on Avery County Sheriff’s MySpace
page:
Thank you for the work that
you are doing in this county, and your concern for our children's safety. As a mother of three, it makes me feel so much more
secure. People need to pull their heads out of the sand here, we may have a small town, but thanks to the internet "big town"
crime is prevalent here.
Hey Sheriff. Thanks for the
add. Nice to know you are watching my back. :}
I just wanted to thank you for
everything you do! It makes a big difference! This website is a great idea!
This is one of the best things
I’ve ever heard of! Makes me feel so much better! Thanks for everything :)

I am a published author and the mother of twin nine year olds who love to
play games online. In considering all of that, you would think that I would know more about what is happening online. Maybe
I've had my head buried in the sand (or another book) but until a recent event when I was shocked out of my daze, I hadn't
really thought much about it or even heard of your organization or Mary Conyers fight to save our kids through "Protect Every
Child." Recently while doing an online search of the Clayton area for skateboard parks for my children, I clicked on a likely
and innocent seeming link. Suddenly I came face to face (or whatever) with a page full of half naked women doing unmentionable
things. I thank heaven my children weren't peeping around my shoulder as they so often are when we are searching for information.
After being shocked out of my sneakers, I immediately began a search on
who to report the incident to and after speaking with a very nice and helpful detective, I soon realized how helpless we as
the public and parents really are when it comes to protecting our children online.
Just recently I met Mary Conyers online and learned about her organization
and yours. Realizing how worthwhile both are, I am determined to do all that I can to assist. I have begun to spend many hours
creating special pages and links to you both on several of my websites and to email or bulletin as much information as I can
to all of my online friends and readers. I wish you all the very best of luck and know that as a woman and a mother, I am
behind you one hundred percent!

Barbara & Gene,
Thank you from the bottom
of my heart for your efforts in keeping children safe. I have e-mailed your website
to everyone on my list asking for their support on the Cyber Safety for Kids Act of 2006 petition.
Blessed be,
