A young woman’s search for truth leads to a courageous battle to save her children.
Written by Catherine Brown

A true and remarkable account covering a 15 year span of time, from a young girl’s search for truth during the hippie revolution of the ’60’s and 70’s to a world so deviant and shocking you may have trouble reading some parts. However, as the author is struck with the cruelest of blows that could potentially destroy her and her children a growing thread of hope and peace envelope their lives.

Laughter Calls Me is a voice for the thousands and millions of children, mothers (and fathers too), who have suffered under the hands of child molesters and carry the scars of child pornography. The power of abuse lies in its secrecy. This book is an attempt to break that power.

ActivatorDesk Introduced as the First Dot-Kids
Safe Internet Desktop Browser for Children

GLENVIEW, IL — (INTERNET WIRE) — 02/24/2003 — Last December President Bush signed the Dot Kids Implementation and Efficiency Act and now ActivatorDesk has responded to this call with the very first Dot-Kids safe Internet desktop browser for parents and educators. This is one of many new features introduced today with the release of a new Version 6 which works on all popular versions of Microsoft Windows.

ActivatorDesk has long used the basic idea of a ‘Safe Internet Zone’ or ‘Safe-Sites-Only’ concept for both children and the business enterprise. As President Bush stated at the signing, “This bill is a wise and necessary step to safeguard our children while they use computers and discover the great possibilities of the Internet. Every site designated .kids will be a safe zone for children. The sites will be monitored for content, for safety, and all objectionable material will be removed.”* Now ActivatorDesk is the first to integrate ‘.Kids’ domains using this method.
