The Official PACA Book Discussion Group
This group will focus on books dealing with personal and child safety issues.
Check your local used book stores for the books to save money, or go to your local library. Often, public libraries are part of library networks, and if they don't have a book in your branch, they may be able to borrow it from another branch in their network and let you know when it arrives. You can sometimes buy them used from Barnes & Noble's website. I personally haven't bought anything from Amazon in over a year, this and this are the reasons why. I'm not saying I expect everyone to follow suit, but just thought it would be good for everyone to know about this.
Some guidelines to start off with:
We'll choose a new book every two months. Hopefully this will give everyone time to read the book and contribute to the discussion or ask questions.
There will be a separate discussion topic for each book, where members can post thoughts and questions about the subject matter.
If anyone is interested, we can set up a chat sessions to discuss the books.
The above guidelines are not set in stone. If anyone has suggestions, please post to the comment wall below or send me an email. I've chosen the first book to start with, but am open to suggestions on future selections as long as the book is about dealing with personal and child safety issues.
Blessings, and enjoy!

If they don't have it in your local branch, they may be able to borrow it from a network affiliate and have it sent to your branch. Also, you can sometimes purchase books used from the Barnes & Noble or the Borders Books websites. The prices for used books are generally significantly less, and the condition of the book is still sometimes new (or like new). I've gotten a couple that were out of print and the spine cracked when I opened them.
After the baby's born and I get back into a routine, I'll start posting information about each chapter of the book. But I still would very much like people to read the book for themselves, as there is no way I can get all the information in here without typing out the book in it's entirety.

I know... I get the feeling that a lot of people are suffering from a lack of time. ;)
I haven't even gotten through the first chapter of "Protecting The Gift" yet! But what I've read is very informative.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU
Considering all the calls made to them and all the electronic "paper trails", there is simply no way that they could place the blame on anyone else. I just pray that it doesn't come to that.
If I can think of any helpful advice, I'll let you know...

It's hard not to be concerned. The info you've given is very concerning, and I've heard many stories of CPS dropping the ball for any number of reasons.
Has your stepdaughter contacted the police about this? My understanding is that if a child re...
i want to thank you for your concern. yes we have notified the police but since we live out of state they told us it is considered second hand knowledge and there is nothing they can do. i have thought about notifying local papers in her aria but ...
