The game plan found me

For all of you following this blog and my 'crazy, sexy, wouldn't trade it for the world' life after having had cancer, I have more news on this subject.

The last blog left you all wondering what happened next? What became of the 12 year old computer 'vixen' posing as a 17 year old 'hotty' online?

Oh where to begin.

Once I found all of the 'damning' evidence on my daughter's 'um activities online, I went back through the chain of events piecing together dates and times.

I was a bit perplexed by some of the 'date stamps' on emails showing pictures of 'penises' being send to my daughter during the day. hmmmm...

Spidey senses go off instantly.

I get out my calendar and I look and research the data in front of me and what did I find?

She was accessing 'facebook' and downloading porno AT FREAKING SCHOOL.

I sat back with my newly aquired knowledge and wondered what to do.

Dr. Google gave me the email address to the principal, the director of IT for the school district that I am in as well as the superintendant of schools for the district.

Friday evening after a few glasses of a damn good shiraz, I licked my lips and I sat at my desk and I wrote the most damning email I have ever written criticizing them ALL for actually allowing my daughter to view materials she sure as hell wouldn't be able to do at home.

I was shocked.....

I also contacted our local papers and send a 'letter to the editor' as well.

Did it stop there?

Nope.

Within 10 minutes of the paper receiving it, I received a call from the editor asking if they could instead do a full-page story on the 'issue' complete with a statement from the school board.

Yup, go ahead.

Parents have a right to know what their kids can do online in elementary schools.

I believe this to be so.

It was published in the newspaper today and within an hour, I recieved a call at home from both the Vancouver Province and CBC Canada asking me if I would be interested in doing a 'live radio' call-in show TODAY...hehehe

Can you believe it?

I'm going to be a radio "super star" at 5:40 this afternoon on CBC live. lol

We are going to be discussing this incident with my daughter as well as what I believe should be being done to protect our kids online while they are at schools.

The communications director for the school board declined to be on the radio as well but they issued a statement stating that today, no other child can access 'facebook' in elementary schools in my school district. (freaking wuss)

Tis funny how a game plan strangely comes together and all I have to do is sit back and participate.

I'm a radio 'super star'....hehehe

Oh yeah.

The side note as well should include the fact that both Fred and I decided that Brianne will now be going to a private school in September complete with a uniform.

The plan is now done.
