Have a great week! Remember! March 1 marks the anniversary of the Lindberg baby kidnapping. I’ll have an article up recounting the story and the trial(s) that followed. In the meantime, swing by the Crime site and check out how you can prevent crimes against children in your area!

Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!
