Save Our Kids Now

Save Our Kids Now Many of us have made resolutions for what we hope to accomplish this year. In the spirit of resolutions let us all resolve to remember our children, remember the families who have lost loved ones to violence, let us unite to take back our city, and most importantly continue in our efforts to save our kids from violence. Happy New Year!

Me being a mother of two a girl and boy Im not looking to hip hop artist to raise my babies or show them right from wrong...it should come from within the home because a kid growing up always look up to they parent first.And thats why more parents need to start being more active in their kids education and things that's positive within the school.... See MoreNot to knock what Ay-Sha said...I just strongly believe parents need to step up first...and stop leaving it up to other people and the streets to raise their kids...!

Save Our Kids Now is tired of hearing people talk about "partying" and getting "wasted"...How about your life shouldn't be wasted? How about your life has purpose? Why don't you pledge to live your life to help a child who's life definitely shouldn't be "wasted". Let's use our talents for something GREAT! Don't let your talent be "waste...d"!!!!!!!
