If the news hasn't reached you yet, we've included a few links below to news about what happened: http://www.cnn.com/ http://www.usatoday.com/ http://www.insidedenver.com/ http://www.denverpost.com/ Please take a few minutes out of every day and spend it with your kids. If you don't have kids, use that time to volunteer and work with kid's groups in your area. Coach a sports team, start a book club, organize fun events. We've included links below to some children's organizations that accept volunteers, or provide activities for youths in their area. Every little bit counts. If everyone pitches in we truly can make the world a better, and safer, place to live. ---------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTES FROM THE WEEKLY BOOKMARK TEAM ---------------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBER QUESTION: Would you be interested in receiving more than one issue of the weekly bookmark per week?

Submitted By: TWB Team APA HelpCenter: Warning Signs http://helping.apa.org/warningsigns/ Victims of violence in America today are most likely to be between the ages of 12 and 24. According to MTV research, violence is the number one concern overall among its viewers. And, in a recent poll, 40 percent of youth say they have been concerned about a potentially violent classmate. To help youth proactively address the problem of violence, APA and MTV have teamed up to provide youth with information about identifying the warning signs of violent behavior and how to get help if they recognize these signs in themselves or their peers. APA and MTV have also co-produced a “Warning Signs” Web site and guide that will further help young people recognize when a classmate or friend might be a potential danger to themselves or others.
