W.T.F moments: 18 month baby infected with Gonorrhea!

By Briana Booker

So, I was informed by my mother that an 18-month-old toddler contracted gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease,in Baltimore.

How did such a grotesque act happen to something so innocent? It really cringes my soul to hear something so disgraceful happening to a child! And whom ever did this act needs some serious psychological help!

Instant gratification never results in long term good.

Also, it is good advice to be careful where and with whom you leave your children around. I do not care if it is a family member, friend of a family, or a professional care taker. The world is a crazy place. There are plenty of sick and crazy people out there!

At the moment, the police are investigating the matter as well as conducting test on the toddler to confirm whether or not the child had been raped.

It is sad that we live in a world where such actions happen. My prayers are with the toddler and her parents.

If you know of someone in a similar situation please call your local Child Abuse Center .

I recall the happiest years of my life so far have been my childhood days. I was happier and did not have a care in the world. It only takes a minute to make a difference in a child's life. Please make the right difference.

Bust a cap in a Hacker: How to protect online accounts from Hackers!

By Briana Booker

Financial fraud online is becoming a bigger issue as our technology gets more and more advanced! It is based upon us not taking enough basic precautions to not be victims to perpetrators. This morning someone tried to hack into one of my online accounts! It only takes one easy opening for a hacker to make you vulnerable and cause numerous financial and social destruction for you!

Here below are some measurements you should take to protect yourself from online account hacking:

• Make sure when you are at an ATM machine you cover your hand completely! Metal on the ATM can reflect your hand. It is like the bank is setting you up to get robbed. Cover your hand with your body! Professional hackers often watch you at the ATM machine to hack your pin number.

• Look around your surroundings. You have eyes for a reason. I rather look and be rude than be harmed. It only takes one effort to get your information

• Use different passwords for each and everyone of your online accounts. I do this with my email accounts and everything i use online! I think this is the reason the person had a hard time hacking my account! Thank  goodness for Google! They show you last IP address log in as well as send you notifications when someone tries to retrieve your password! I always send a reset to an account i do not use for anything, just in case.

• Do not be a simpleton. Never set your password as anything too obvious! No birthdays, no street address, no social security numbers...nothing personal. Those are the first materials hackers use! And all are easy to obtain with a quick engine search.

• Use characters people would least expect in a password. Mix upper and lowercase letters, shift-number keys, NEVER SPELL WORDS! It works like a charm!

• Protect and check your credit reports and bank accounts every couple of weeks!  AAA offers this with membership! I hear American Express has a great program as well!

•  When an error message happens when you try to make online payments or log in a social network, close the web page and log in as normal. Do not enter it on the log in error screen! And always look for bad English! Do not be a victim!

I hope this is useful!
