A Special Thank You.....

Volunteers are such special people!

The DADPR project would like to send much gratitude to a group of Point University (Atlanta, GA) students who volunteered their time during the month of March to helping our organization manage and develop some of our information system needs. As we all know, computers do much of the work in this day and age but having knowledgeable people who can help run programs and create files that make our work more efficient is an extreme benefit that allows us to do the "field work" that comes along with our activism efforts.

This group of students helped with editing and formatting documents to prepare our book to go to print and developing spreadsheets and databases that categorize over 100 entries.

Thanks to their giving spirits and advanced knowledge, our book project is coming along greatly.

We appreciate your efforts!

How much is too much to tell a child?

Earlier today I saw a facebook post on the fb page of Stepmom Magazine. It was concerning how much is too much to tell a child concerning the custody issues between their parents. While the conversation is extremely value, we began to wonder and have a discussion about how the advancements in technology affect that issue. Teens (and in some cases children) have so much access to the internet and while a parent may be indeed protecting their child while giving limited information, does it become a trust issue when the child finds something online or in public records concerning the long, drawn out days of court battles between parents.

Here was our response to their inquiry bringing up our thoughts to their community to try and get some insight.

I have found that the information age and advancements in technology makes this topic more and more complicated. Considering that anyone who knows how to use the internet (and that age is getting younger and younger by the minute) can look at court cases and documents online. I have found that some of the daughters in our community (DADpr - Daughters Advocating for Daddy's Parental Rights) have become resentful with their parents for the protection that parents are providing by not spilling all the beans. Once they find out anyway, how does one deal with the fact that the child got the knowledge from public records on the internet and not from the parent themselves. We've discussed how this affects trust issues but haven't really come to a conclusion. Any thoughts?

What do you all think? We'd love to hear from you!!
