Attention Parents, To-Be Parents and Other Caregivers:
An important documentary on child abuse prevention will be broadcast on
Channel 8, Houston PBS, Thursday, April 13, 7:00 PM, "The Brutal Truth:
Protecting the Family from Violence."
National and local experts filmed in the documentary will bring new
insights on how parents can better handle the stressful times. Topics
such as temper tantrums, discipline versus punishment, bullying,
inappropriate touching, neglect, self-esteem, and kids raising kids will be

The level of child abuse, child neglect and violence in the home has

work. Many thanks to all who offered prayers and support during my
recent hospitalization...

Thanks to all who prayed for me prior to my prostate cancer
cryoablation on Monday, April 3. The procedure went well and I was in the hospital

FROM Jim Jackson~
Attention Parents, To-Be Parents and Other Caregivers:
An important documentary on child abuse prevention will be broadcast on
Channel 8, Houston PBS, Thursday, April 13, 7:00 PM, "The Brutal Truth:
Protecting the Family from Violence."
National and local experts filmed in the documentary will bring new
insights on how parents can better handle the stressful times. Topics
such as temper tantrums, discipline versus punishment, bullying,
inappropriate touching, neglect, self-esteem, and kids raising kids will be
covered.
The level of child abuse, child neglect and violence in the home has
continued to escalate in this city and across America. Last year, over
82,000 children in the Houston area experienced either child abuse or
child neglect. And, less than 66% of those events was ever reported to
Children's Protective Services.
I have viewed the film and it is excellent. It fits perfectly with
our United Methodist emphasis on "Safe Sanctuary." I encourage you to
announce the airing of this educational docmentary in your newsletters.
bulletins and websites. You can also go to www.brutaltruthproject.org to
download a poster.
