PHILADELPHIA (AP) — One of the country's oldest mentoring organizations is starting a program pairing police with youth in an effort to address the fraught relationship between officers and the communities they serve.
Already operating in several of their affiliate branches, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America's "Bigs in Blue" program is set to begin in January. Officers will volunteer to serve as a "Big" for a child, interacting weekly for 30 minutes to an hour at the child's school, though longer visits outside of a school setting may happen depending on the relationship. Child participants will be elementary or middle school age.
(CNSNews.com) – In her first solo appearance on the campaign trail, Melania Trump told supporters at a rally in Berwyn, Pa., that if her husband is elected president, her focus as first lady will be on cyberbullying.
"As adults, many of us are able to handle mean words, even lies. Children and teenagers can be fragile. They're hurt when they are made fun of or made to feel less in looks or intelligence. This makes their life hard and can force them to hide and retreat," Mrs. Trump said.
