My job as a security expert requires me to assist others in protecting their physical and intellectual assets, which is why I am so passionate about educating parents and teens regarding the real safety issues that can be associated with inappropriate texting behaviors.   While parents certainly have the best intentions when they give teens a cell phone, they may also be setting themselves up for future legal issues.  Most teens lack the maturity and experience to know how to use their newfound technology freedom and without proper parent monitoring (and at times intervention), teens may find themselves (and their parents!) in legal hot water.

Just what kind of legal issues could you encounter?

• The majority of states (including the District of Columbia and Guam) have a primary law prohibiting the use of cell phones while driving.  This means an officer can ticket the driver for the offense without any other traffic offense taking place. 
• In many jurisdictions, there are parental liability laws that allow someone who is intentionally injured by a minor to hold the parents of that minor responsible—this may include acts of cyberbullying.
• If a parent knows that his/her minor is engaged in inappropriate texting behaviors such as sexting or cyberbullying and does nothing to prevent it, the parent is at risk of being charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
• Extremely harmful online speech can violate criminal laws—this includes sending obscene or harassing text messages, creating or sending sexually explicit images of teens and taking a photo of someone in a private place such as a locker room.

Don’t wait for an incident to happen to you or your child before you talk to your teen about the consequences of sexting, cyberbullying or driving while texting.  It is your responsibility as a parent to keep the lines of communication open and to monitor your teen’s texting behavior.  For more information on the legal ramifications of inappropriate texting behaviors, checkout my new ebook, Safe Text: Protecting Your Teens from the Dangers of Texting:

This morning while driving to a client’s site, I heard a song by the artist Adelle.  In the song she is singing about chasing pavements.

Chasing Pavements? 

I pondered on this title for a moment, and then it hit me that, I have often felt that I have been chasing pavements by looking for ways to market my EBooks guides, and my security consulting business. 

Have you ever felt that you are just going around in circles, to find that it leads no where?

Am I wasting my time, trying to educate people that by having a government security clearance would guarantee you to make $5,000 – $10,000 more? 

Should I give up? 

What am I doing wrong? 

How can I get the word out about this fabulous e-Book guide on the Step by Step e-Book guide on getting high paying secure job with the federal government or government contractor, by learning the insiders secret’s to getting a security clearance?

As I continue to listen to the song, I realize that artist is singing about Love, and then I realized that Chasing Pavements can apply to any area of you life. 

I would Love to get people back working, wouldn’t YOU!

Aren’t we all Chasing Pavements for something?

As I proceeded to walk to my client’s office, I realized that I am chasing pavements, and I will continue to do so, as long as there are million people out of work.   I pledge to do my part to help as many people as I can, and continue to chase pavements.

What about you?  Will you help me to spread the word about my blog, my eBooks and my security consulting business?

Due to a terrible accident, I found myself sitting in traffic instead of enjoying the wonderful Holiday Tour at The White House with some of my CMI colleagues.

As I turned around to make my drive back home, I found myself crying and pouting like I was a 5 year-old. I felt I had let Nell Merlino, and the rest of the Count Me In Group down. I am sure you have heard the phrase “When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade.” This ageless proverb has long served as a beacon of hope and comfort to grieving souls worn by life’s most complex and heart-wrenching difficulties.

Why am I thinking about Lemons?

While driving back home, tired and cold, I received a telephone call and at first I hesitated to answer it, and then a voice inside of me said go ahead, you have nothing better to do.

I answered the phone with a bit of attitude and said, “This is Diane, how may I help you?” The deep, masculine voice on the other end responded by saying, “Maybe we can help each other.” I immediately changed the tone in my voice and hung on every word the caller was saying. The caller started by stating he would like to start an affiliate program to help sell my book and, since he deals with military bases throughout the U.S., he would also like to introduce my company to some of his clients.

We chatted a little longer about how one would go about getting a government security clearance and the terrible unemployment rate, and I really started to feel a little better. We are women, we are use to disappointments in life, right? After the conversation ended, I realized several things:

1. Nell and the Count Me In group will be there as long as I need them.
2. I can sign up for The White House Tour anytime.
3. I can send President Obama and Michelle the questions I had about the unemployment rate by email.

So, “Count Me In” while I make lemonade out of my lemons—with a slice of chocolate cake, tonight!
