Child Safety In The New Era

In the modern era, where technology and globalization shape our lives, child safety goes beyond traditional physical dangers. We now face intangible threats that permeate globalized communication platforms, threatening not only the bodies, but also the minds and souls of our children. It is imperative that we be alert to these camouflaged dangers that surround our little ones. Our children are not only subject to falls and scratches; they are exposed to malicious predators who aim to distort their perceptions of the world and cause emotional and psychological harm. In the naivety of youth, they do not have the mechanisms to protect themselves from unscrupulous adults who exploit their innocence. As guardians of our children, it is our responsibility to know the threats brought by modernity and combat their harmful effects. Every effective strategy begins with clarified and updated knowledge. We must be well informed about the tactics and methods used by predators to better protect our little ones. Ignoring the latent and silent danger that threatens the integrity of our children is not an option. We need to become increasingly specialized to understand how these evil agents operate and how we can protect our children from their harm. Parents, educators, caregivers and everyone who cares about children's well-being must prioritize actions that close all the loopholes through which evildoers try to infiltrate. It is our duty to ensure that our children grow up in a safe environment, protected from negative influences that could compromise their healthy and happy development. This is a commitment that cannot be underestimated, as the future of our treasures is at stake.

Winner of the 2018 Arthur J. Viseltear Award from the Medical Care Section of the American Public Health Association​ Children and Drug Safety traces the development, use, and marketing of drugs for children in the twentieth century, a history that sits at the interface of the state, business, health care providers, parents, and children. This book illuminates the historical dimension of a clinical and policy issue with great contemporary significance—many of the drugs administered to children today have never been tested for safety and efficacy in the pediatric population. Each chapter of Children and Drug Safety engages with major turning points in pediatric drug development; themes of children’s risk, rights, protection and the evolving context of childhood; child-rearing; and family life in ways freighted with nuances of race, class, and gender. Cynthia A. Connolly charts the numerous attempts by Congress, the Food and Drug Administration, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and leading pediatric pharmacologists, scientists, clinicians, and parents to address a situation that all found untenable.

Child safety is everybody's concern, but much professional activity is misinformed or based on a misrepresentation of the facts, and preventative action is rarely adequately evaluated. Written and edited by leading researchers with an active role in social policy, this new book challenges both our understanding of the problem of child safety and points to the impotence of "educational" approaches based on "knowledge enhancement". The strong message is that improving children's knowledge has little or no effect on their behaviour. From the physical abuse of young children to drug abuse in adolescence, this book presents a radical new perspective on a key social issue.

With apocalypse imminent, Prince Tojas Malock leads his ragtag band of friends and allies through the southern seas to the edge of the world in order to save all of creation from destruction. But, though Malock is determined to save the world, the gods have other plans for Malock and his friends, plans to derail their quest and send the whole world tumbling end over end into oblivion. Yet even if Malock overcomes the challenges that the gods have in store for him, he may be too late to save his world from the entities that wish to destroy it.
