There’s two new at Imaginif’s Mybloglog Child Protection community this week?

tiddlytwinks (not new to me or to the issues of child abuse, just new to our child protection community)

CulinaryDiary  (Check the recipes out here - YUM YUM)

Welcome to you both. Thanks for joining our child protection community; Imaginif, no child abuse. You have both been stumbled and given the green thumbs up. Take some time to get to know each other. Support the other members of our community and watch the benefits of child protection like mindedness grow.

And your fellow members of Child Protection community at MyBlogLog? Check their friendly faces in the previous Whensday updates here.

Child Protection community Blogging Buddy: As a member of our community you are randomly ascribed a blogging buddy. Similar to Secret Santa, you may voluntarily enact random acts of kindness and increase blog Karma to your community blogging buddy by making that person a part of your blogging day - a message on MyBlogLog, a comment, a link, a stumble - you will find a way to let your community blogging buddy know that someone is thinking of them and is helping to ensure that their commitment to child protection has not gone unnoticed. Whereas Secret Santa lasts for the holiday season, Child Protection Community Blogging Buddy will last for the cyber life span of yourself and blogging buddy. If one buddy stops blogging, no worries, we’ll just do buddy adjustment.

To build community, a two way process of interaction is required from participants (all of us).  To develop a community means to build active and sustainable communities based on social justice and mutual respect (no cyber bullying, hate, racist, sexual harassment, spam or derogatory comments). It is about changing power structures to remove the barriers that prevent people from participating in the issues that affect their lives. Child protection and child safety is faced with many structural and personal barriers. It is time to remove them by supporting those who publicly stand up for the safety of our kids. It is time to make child protection serious business. It is time to have child protection blogging buddies.

Expect a private message in your MyBlogLog (mid January) where you will be ascribed another community member to watch out for, to encourage and to support. A data base matches names randomly. Matches for new members will be made periodically so that brand new members are less likely to guess who they may be matched with.

And…LAST DAYS to get your child safety tip in. WIN cash to pay off the Christmas bills. Drawn this Friday morning.
