We have not had much opportunity to keep this blog updated as would like. And we are still looking for contributors to add informative articles for our readers. If you are a law enforcement officer or know of one who would like to write up a short informative article for our readers we would love to hear from you. There are lots of websites out there that we could reference here and as we find time we will be adding them so please be patient.
We have read through a few websites for resources and information that you might find informative: http://www.jaxparent.com/ They have links and resources for parents throughout the websites. Some of them are very informative and others not so much. Give them a try and she what you think. Of course, the Duval County Health Department is always very helpful http://www.dchd.net/ They have information on keeping your child healthy. Then on the other end of the spectrum we have the Jacksonville Office of the FBI. http://jacksonville.fbi.gov/ They have great informational resources open to the public. They also have tip sheets for preventing crime, protecting yourself and your family and much more.
And finally, we have created a blog for the TriCounty Area of Nassau, Clay and St. Johns County areas. This blog has resources for those particular counties in Northeast Florida. We will not be duplicating our efforts so the articles we post here will not be the same as on that website. Look over the website and see what you think. We encourage you to send a link to o
Here at the MAP for Life blog are all about keeping parents informed and educated on how to keep children safe as they can be. Our only goal is education and information for parents. We hope to encourage local law enforcement officers to participate and write essays on safety. We encourage our readers to stay informed and be aware of their neighbors and surroundings when they are with their children in parks, the malls, and anywhere in public.
We appreciate our readers and hope to get more contributors so use the contact form and send us your subscriber id and we will change your level to author. This will allow you to post essays, upload pictures and post links for other readers to use.
Stay Safe! Happy Holidays! Look Forward to Hearing From you in the New year!

Welcome to the Mothers Against Predators Blog site. We are a volunteer organization that hopes to gather information and resources for other parents to learn how we can keep our children safe from predators. Mostly the blog will focus on what we can do everyday to keep them from harm. As we grow we will include other information as well. Mainly we want to point to where we can find useful information about our neighborhoods, how to talk to our children about strangers and becoming aware of what dangers there might be out there for our children.
We are based here in Jacksonville Florida and include Clay County in our postings. We are creating a sister site for St. Johns, Nassau and Baker Counties at: www.mapforlife.info So if you live in those counties we will have the site up and running within the next week or so.
If you know a law enforcement officer that would be willing to become a Guest Blogger and give us tips on what we can do to keep our children safe from predators please go the Contact Page and send us the information and we will contact them.
That’s all for now. Remember to keep informed!
