Affordable Access To The Legal System Is Paramount In Any Type Of Abusive Relationship

Affordable Access To The Legal System Is Paramount In Any Type Of Abusive Relationship

Dealing with any type of Abuse such as Sexual, Physical, and Verbal, or being in a relationship with any degree of Domestic Violence is not only stressful for adults or young women but if you have children, it can lead to even higher degrees of stress and Life-Long Trauma or Mental Health Issues for them including Anxiety, Depression, Post Traumatic Stress, etc. And it can also lead to our children inheriting bad habits and behavior if the root of the problem is not dealt with early on. Procrastination in dealing with such issues has absolutely no place in a relationship or parenthood --- This is something that I didn't understand when I was young, but I do know first hand what the end result can be, being that I grew up in a home where Domestic Violence was sometimes a bi-monthly event in my house and environment growing up; as far back as I can remember since around the age of 3 or so. And it is still something that has affected me in my adulthood.

Children don't usually call the police on their parents when these types of issues occur, nor do young women when they've been Sexually or Physically abused. That being said, if you do call the police, it is only a Police Issue when they are charging or arresting the Abuser or Sexual Predator. After that, it's no longer a Police Issue, but a Legal Issue. Here is the dilemma...90% of people in North American society have been priced out of the Legal System. They just can't afford $200.00 to $350.00 per hour for Legal Advice, Legal Counsel, and Guidance, so they turn to Legal Aid (Public Defender's System) and take the wrong advice from family and friends. As a result, most younger or older women don't end up getting the Justice that they deserve. 

Report Of The Canadian Bar Association Access to the Justice Committee in 2011 said...

• "We know that many people in Canada do not have access to the legal help they need. The legal aid system is overburdened and decades of reforms haven’t solved the problem. In 2011, the World Justice Project ranked Canada 9th out of 12 developed countries on access to Justice."

Report Of The Canadian Bar Association Access to the Justice Committee in 2015 said...

• "The state of access to justice in Canada is abysmal and getting worse. Inaccessible justice hurts us all, as the growing number of middle-class Canadians who suffer from it can attest, but its harshest consequences are visited upon the poorest and most vulnerable people in our communities. Over the next three years, 45 percent of Canadians will encounter a legal problem and many will not get the help they need because of perceived or actual barriers."

What are the perceived or actual barriers? Cost. So if you could have Affordable Legal Access to a Top Quality Law Firm and the best Lawyers to protect the Legal Rights of you and your children, without it being a financial burden to you, would you?

We're Not Going To Beat Cybercrime In Our Lifetime

We're Not Going To Beat Cybercrime In Our Lifetime 

We still need to proactively hunt down attackers or risk a "failure for future generations" - If you tolerate this your children will be next in line to be victims of cybercrime!!!

A former director of the FBI's crime and cybercrime response unit has warned that the problems of hacking and cybercrime will not be solved in our lifetimes, but we that we owe it to future generations to avoid completely mismanaging the issue to make it worse to deal with in years to come.

Shawn Henry spent 24 years at the FBI where he rose through the ranks to oversee all of the Bureau's criminal and cyber investigations across the globe before retiring from the organisation in 2012.

But despite boosting the FBI's computer crime investigative capabilities and taking part in numerous successful investigations into denial-of-service attacks, major banks, and corporate breaches, and nation-state sponsored intrusions, Henry believes that Cybercriminals aren't going to be disappearing anytime soon.

"We're not going to solve it, folks, not in our lifetime, but we have to constantly manage it," he said, speaking at IP EXPO 2016 in his post-FBI role as president of Cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike.

Indeed, cases such as the OPM Hack, which saw attackers steal personnel files of 4.2 million former and current government employees and security clearance background investigative information on 21.5 million people, or the recently disclosed Yahoo data breach appear to demonstrate that we have a long, long way to go before cybercrime is a thing of the past, especially as Cybercriminals gangs are becoming ever more professional.

That doesn't mean we should give up; for Henry, ignoring the issue is a disservice to those who'll need to fight it in future.

"Our inability to manage it is going to result in failure and it's not just failure for your company or for you, it's failure for future generations," he says, arguing the only way to fix it is "with the right people executing the right plans and demonstrating leadership" and to proactively hunt down any Cybercriminals that may in your network rather than waiting for them to give themselves away.

Rather than an organisation sitting back and waiting to see if it's attacked, Henry argues that cybersecurity professionals should be constantly examining their own network looking for indicators of attack because "If we're not out constantly hunting for the adversaries they're hunting us".

The FBI has also taken that approach to detecting cybercrime and Henry urged organisations to follow suit in order to have the best chance of identifying intruders on their network.

"By being proactive in the hunting and seeing the adversaries as they place their infrastructure and disrupting it. Not after we've been gigabytes of data being sent off the network, but identifying that before they can take action and impact negatively on the organisation," he says.

The FBI is very much practising what it preaches and Arlette Hart, Chief Information Security Officer at the FBI, recently outlined the agency's approach to insider security to ensure employees don't become malicious threats.

The Dangers Of Posting Pictures Of Your Kids On Facebook

The Dangers Of Posting Pictures Of Your Kids On Facebook

In 2012, CNN reported that 66 percent of parents say they post pictures of their children on Facebook. In families spread across the world, it's an easy way for grandparents to feel more connected to grandchildren they don't see often. Parents can share the events of their lives and their children's with friends far and wide, and often do so without really considering potential consequences. As ubiquitous as parent-posted photos of children are on Facebook, it is important to realize the risks involved.

Think A Little Deeper About Sexual Predators:

Metadata automatically embedded in photos taken with Smartphones and some Digital Cameras can be accessed by site users when posted on sites such as Facebook. The Metadata records photo Time and Date, as well as Location, using Geographical Coordinates. In a 2011 FBI alert about disabling smartphone geotagging, an FBI Crimes Against Children Unit Intelligence Analyst explained that regularly posting daily routine details makes it easier to predict where you are and when children might be alone. Many scoff at the idea of a predator stumbling across a Facebook photo of their child and making an inordinate time investment in tracking him down when easier victims are available. They might be right. Stranger abductions are rare. More common are circumstances involving someone local, a casual acquaintance or someone who sees the child around the neighborhood, such as a landscaper or delivery person. Facebook photos of your children, posts, and status updates can give a nearby predator a dangerous amount of information.

Photos Can End Up Anywhere:

In 2012, a Boston CBS station reported that Facebook photos of local teenage girls were copied and posted on a pornography website. Forbes published the details of a late 2012 settlement Facebook made in a class action lawsuit involving Facebook users whose names and photos were used by Facebook in "Sponsored Story" advertisements without permission. In response to the lawsuit, Facebook has updated its terms of service, letting users know that, in accepting the terms of service during signup, they grant Facebook permission for this type of name and photo use. When parents post pictures of their kids on Facebook, they take a risk. They have no way of knowing where those photos could eventually end up or what they might be used for.

Conflict Spillover Can Get Ugly:

Parents posting pictures of their children on Facebook can leave them vulnerable to being targeted by people the parents have conflicts with. An unstable ex-boyfriend might not be able to get close enough to a woman to inflict harm but could figure out from a Facebook photo of her son in his basketball uniform what school her children go to, then target her children to hurt her. People have pasts and people in those pasts can be dangerous. Parents in the public eye also face this risk. In 2012, the "New York Daily News" reported that a Washington, D.C., reporter took a sabbatical after teens, angry about her stories on underage drinking, harassed and threatened her children via Facebook and at school.

Family Problems Can Result:

Children might come to resent those Facebook photos as an invasion of their privacy. Having their awkward years posted for all to see for years to come might embarrass them. They might prefer some moments to be kept private, away from the eyes of future employers and out of view of future romantic interests. People grow, change and mature on the path to adulthood. The idea of having past mistakes in associations, styles, and tastes recorded and displayed on the Internet for the foreseeable future and beyond is understandably unpleasant to some and serious family conflict can result. It is important to consider children's feelings regarding Facebook photos of them and to respect short- and long-term privacy concerns they might have.

The Dangers Of Your Children's Pictures On Facebook

The Dangers Of Your Children's Pictures On Facebook

As many of you are well aware of, Facebook has various privacy settings that can be adjusted or tweaked, but there is absolutely no way to guarantee that your photos will not be seen by people who you could regret seeing them after you post. Although the risk of sexual predators stalking your children after seeing their Facebook photos is small, it can't be completely overlooked or discounted. Posting photos of your children can also set a bad example to them about privacy and opens them up to other dangers, such as Identity Theft on many levels.

Exposure To Sexual Predators & Pedophiles:

Posting photos of your children on Facebook could bring them to the attention of sexual predators and pedophiles, even if you set the privacy settings so that only friends and family are able to see the photos. Well-meaning relatives can republish the photos, with less stringent privacy settings. This practice can be dangerous if there are easily recognizable landmarks or information that can pinpoint the location of the child in the photo. Many Facebook games and apps encourage you to increase the size of your friend list, but doing so can expose your personal information to unwanted strangers. This information, in conjunction with status updates revealing your whereabouts and photos of your children, can make it all too easy for someone to stalk your family.

Setting Bad Examples:

Young children should be taught from an early age about the dangers of revealing too much information to strangers. With smartphones and other electronic devices making it easy to post photos online, it is important that children understand the dangers of uploading the wrong kind of pictures. If you upload lots of photos of your children to Facebook, they may draw the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with sharing images online. For example, many parents post photos of their children in the bath or in their swimwear. Unless children are taught boundaries about sharing personal photos such as these, it can have a negative effect on them later in life.

Identity Theft Issues:

After you post photos of your children online on sites such as Facebook, you no longer have any control over what the images are used for. Even with stringent privacy settings these photos can be viewed, downloaded, modified and uploaded elsewhere by other people if they are determined enough. Photos of your child could be used for advertising, as many unscrupulous website owners use photos they find on the Internet to promote their sites. Someone could even use photos of your child to create a fake profile on a teen site with the intention of getting close to other teens.

Opening Your Children To Bullying & Intimidation:

While posting embarrassing photos of your children on Facebook might seem like harmless fun, it can expose them to bullying and intimidation. If someone distributes these photos to online forums and websites as a joke it can cause a lot of emotional trauma for your child. In some severe cases, teens have committed suicide after threats and bullying online.
