  • Never Tell Your Child The Policeman Will Take Them Away

    A view from a policeman 

    If a child goes missing. Wouldn’t you want them to tell the police, “I can’t find my mummy/daddy”, so that we could keep them safe and reunite them?

    We would! 👮


    But we still walk past the little tinkers getting a telling off, crying, or sometimes neither, in the street and hear their parents say, “Behave, or that police officer will come and take you away!”


    Stop! ✋


    Don’t teach children to be scared of the police if they get lost. Next time you see one of us, come and say “Hi!” There might be some nee-nors in it for them (not you 😅)! 🚔

  • REVEALED: the secret codes children are using to hide the true meanings of messages

    Most parents check their children’s phones, read text messages, WhatsApp messages, Facebook messages and posts.

    But how much of it do we truly understand?

    The police have revealed a list of secret texting codes that referred to drugs, sex and suicide.

    We urge all parents to familiarise yourself with these codes as to better understand what your children may really be talking about.

    These codes have also been used by pedophiles when attempting to groom teenagers and children into sexual relationships and activities.

    The Police Service of Northern Ireland’s Newry and Mourne division published an extensive list of the codes earlier this year.

    Please share this far and wide to warn other parents so our children aren’t at risk.

    Twenty year old Cody-Anne Jackson will spend at least 16 years behind bars after she admitted murdering for daughter Macey Hogan during her trial.

    Cody-Anne sent a picture of Macey to the child’s father shortly before killing her with the words: “Sorry, just thought you deserved one last picture and memory of her.”

    The trial which was held at Stafford Crown Court was told Jackson, from Stoke-on-Trent, wrote a suicide note before the killing her child which said: “There’s nothing for me or Macey, life’s shit.”

    Jackson held resentment towards Macey’s father after the end of their relationship the court was told.

    Sentencing, Judge Michael Chambers QC said: “For a mother to kill her young child, who depends on her for protection above all others, is a wicked and appalling act.”

    “This is not a case where you suffered from mental illness,” Judge Chambers continued.

    “The clear inference is that you thought about killing yourself and decided to kill Macey as well to prevent her having a life without a mother.”

    Macey’s body was found by police on the floor in a bedroom after her mother dialled 999 on October 10 last year.

    Jackson, who was in the same room attempting CPR, was found with “superficial” chest, neck and wrist injuries.

  • PARENTS NEED TO STOP DOING THIS

    Don’t teach children to be scared of the police

    It’s quite common for parents do use the police as a caution when their children are misbehaving.

    “that police man will take you away if you don’t stop that” is something they might say.

    But is this actually the right thing to do?

    While children should be aware that the police do deal with bad people who break the law, they also need to know that the police are here to help. That if they are ever in a position that they need help they can go to the police for it without fear.

    What is your view on this?

    Should parent stop this practice or are people reading too much into it?
