I wrote the article “The Soul Never Dies” many years ago. I told the story of my experience as a young mother eager to learn about reincarnation. I saw an ad in the newspaper and decided to attend Dr. Helen Wambach’s session on life regression. Experiencing my past lives changed my life choices. In the…
By Stephanie L. Mann, Crime and Violence Prevention Consultant How to increase Safety, reduce Fear, and Mental Health issues in Cities. This training manual is a long-range plan. Every neighborhood is different, with a variety of challenges. It is designed to secure funding and partnerships for a new initiative to transform neighborhood dynamics through hiring and training…
The reaction to the recent shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner should be more than a headline—it should be a wake-up call. This was another attempt on our president’s life. Regardless of political affiliation, this is not normal. It signals that something deeper is broken. America is facing a violence problem, which is a…
Faith, Community, and Strong Families Are Key to a Safe, Healthy America. Many Americans watch TV and scroll through social media, but seldom consider the importance of getting involved in their community. This passive attitude has allowed paid protesters and their supporters to gather in the name of Islam, spread hatred against Jews, while anti-Christian leaders work to end…
Invisible Children Report: Child Abuse in America Child abuse crosses every income level, neighborhood, and religion in America—and our systems still don’t track it honestly enough to fix it. National studies show that about 37% of all U.S. children—and 54% of Black children—are reported to Child Protective Services by their 18th birthday. That’s millions of kids, year after…
COMMUNITY SAFETY PROJECT to strengthen family support! Objective: Unite neighbors to reduce fear, loneliness, and isolation. Connected neighbors can protect each other, especially children. Engaged citizens can help prevent crime, child abuse, gang activity, predators, and sex trafficking. Popular attitudes among citizens! I don’t know much about crime. What can I do? I don’t…
The media tells us: American children are suffering! Yet they fail to emphasize that family is the most critical factor in a child’s mental and physical health. To raise successful children, we must prioritize educating and supporting American families. Statistics should motivate us to empower children. Currently, taxpayers spend $220 million daily on child abuse…
Social isolation has severely impacted families and children. It’s time to update “Neighborhood Watch” because Americans are increasingly divided and angry, and families and children are suffering the consequences. Police forces have been weakened in many cities. Stephanie Mann helped establish the national Neighborhood Watch program in the 1960s and co-authored the book, “Alternative to…
The shooting of a woman in Minneapolis, who was fleeing after an ICE agent told her to exit her vehicle, has sparked involvement from activists and citizens. Anti-ICE protests are taking place in several cities. Anger toward the police has been a long-standing issue. When people feel the police are overstepping boundaries, their anger increases,…

Years ago, I watched The Edward R. Murrow Show when he interviewed celebrities and newsmakers. George Clooney played Murrow in the TV Broadway show Good Night and Good Luck, which recently closed. After the show, a follow-up discussion highlighted key points about speaking up and telling the truth to those in power. The focus then…
Everytown Research and Policy reports that young people in the U.S. face alarmingly high rates of gun-related deaths. Each year, 4,300 children are shot and killed, and 17,000 are wounded. That averages about 60 children daily in the U.S. Violent behavior peaks at ages 14–16 and drops sharply by age 24. Why are young teens…
What if we could lower crime and loneliness, save taxpayers’ money, and improve lives—all while saving billions? Here’s a proven way to make it happen. Let me share with you a real-life example that my friend, Stephanie Mann, orchestrated for a community. The non-profit network she leads, Safe Kids Now Network, is impacting communities across…
In this interview, Stephanie Mann shares how she helped pioneer community-based safety over 50 years ago by uniting neighbors to reduce crime in her community by 48%. Her work led to the foundation of Neighborhood Watch and later the creation of Safe Kids Now, a program focused on protecting children through strong, connected neighborhoods. Partnering…
The total cost of crime in the U.S., according to Wikipedia, was $4.9 trillion in 2021. The epidemic of loneliness, as reported by the Center for BrainHealth, costs taxpayers $406 billion annually and affects 62% of Americans. Loneliness was declared an epidemic by the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, in 2023. What if we…
When I was working for Oakland PD as a crime and violence prevention consultant, I noticed that homeless people hung out at the entrance to the police department. Over time, I got to know them. One day, as I was leaving, I was asked if I wanted to meet Mother Wright, who was serving food…
In this deeply moving and prophetic testimony, a 64-year-old retired nurse shares the powerful near-death experience she had just one day after the shocking news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Her name is Margaret Ellis, and as she collapsed from a sudden cardiac arrest in her kitchen, her spirit was pulled from the chaos of our…
There are people in America who follow God’s Ten Commandments, like Charlie Kirk, and others who try to play God in other people’s lives, like the assassin. We talk about mental health, but we fail to realize that a person’s state of mind shows how they’re handling life’s problems. We are all spiritual beings with…
In a time of growing division and increasingly violent rhetoric, it can feel impossible to find our way back to a peaceful culture. But an organization called Spiritual Playdate, founded by a group of interfaith moms, is fighting to change that. With government institutions devoted to peace and education often failing to change culture, it…
Every human is born with a strong, resilient spirit and God-given talents, including imagination, intuition, creativity, insight, a sense of humor, hidden abilities yet to be discovered, and a self-protective conscience that can safeguard us and keep us safe and healthy. The police, experts, and the public are struggling to find the motivation of each…
Mental Health America states, one in five U.S. citizens is diagnosed with a mental health condition, including anxiety, addiction, depression, and substance disorder. Children are dramatically affected by what happens in the home. Today, 2.2 million youth have a substance abuse issue, and 4.8 million of our youth ages 12 to 17 have major depression.…
In a shocking revelation, a 17-year study confirmed that American children are increasingly obese, chronically ill, and mentally distressed. The alarming research shows U.S. children are nearly twice as likely to die as kids in other developed nations, with obesity rates skyrocketing and mental health plummeting since 2007. The extensive study examined 170 health indicators…
Every American has heard about September 11, 2001. The Twin Towers were destroyed by terrorists living among us. They commandeered four airplanes, and 3000 Americans died. During the Biden Administration, our borders were open, and millions of unvetted people walked in from all over the world. Our enemies are now living among us. Their goal…
I watched the Edward R. Murrow Show when he interviewed celebrities in the 1950s. I was too young to remember any controversial topics highlighted on the TV Broadway show Good Night and Good Luck, starring George Clooney. The program was informative, but the after-discussion brought up critical points about speaking up and expressing truth to…
A young couple was murdered outside a Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Was the killer inspired by the street murder of the CEO of UnitedHealthCare? His killer received publicity, notoriety, and followers glorified his actions and donated a million dollars for his defense. In his sick mind, was the killer at the Jewish Museum seeking…
There are roughly 4,200 religions in the world. For centuries, humans have persecuted each other for their religion, while other people understood that God protects and looks out for us if we have faith and rely on God. Humans are spiritual beings with feelings of love, happiness, anger, and hate. We also have empathy, envy,…
Police departments are militaristic organizations with a Chief, Captains, Commanders, Lieutenants, and police officers, and they rely on police training. Many years ago, crime prevention activists worked with community activists in our county and formed the Citizens Crime Prevention Committee. We were independent from police departments and worked with many city services for training and…
Caring for Kids in Liberia: A Calling from God By Sher Graham Last October, one of my long-time friends decided to travel back to Liberia to help start a school in a small community where children needed education, housing, food and love. At first, she said she might be gone for several months. As 2023…
Gangs plague American cities, costing taxpayers $100 Billion a year. The FFT (Functional Family Therapy) estimated 1,059,000 teen gang members, with 400,000 young people joining a gang every year. The total economic cost of violent deaths was $47.2 billion in lost productivity. (Source: NIH National Library of Medicine) Let’s discuss what needs to change and…
This headline inspired me to write this article! “Boys as young as 12 years old were among those who made up a prolific organized retail theft ring in San Francisco, police said.” We have heard these stories as American society gradually changed! Look at today’s youthful behavior compared to 50 years ago. We now have…
We have a worldwide problem! We must start a discussion about bullies, dictators, and controlling people who prey on innocent, vulnerable citizens in America and around the world. Most Americans love freedom and focus on family support and a spiritual understanding of self. However, many young people lack self-awareness, making them easy targets for manipulation…
Would you make any changes in your life if you knew your soul would never die? Every human life is a gift, and as free people, we can make the world around us a better place for everyone. Many young Americans were never told that human beings are born with many gifts, including an imagination…
On June 25, 2024, Dr. Vivek Murthy, the U.S. Surgeon General, declared gun violence a public health crisis. As the nation’s top doctor, he stated, “It will take a collective commitment of our nation to turn the tide. Our children’s and future generations’ safety and well-being are at stake.” Gun violence deaths sharply increased after the pandemic…
Life on planet Earth is a journey of self-discovery to find our hidden talents and develop the courage to excel. Children are born with imagination, intuition, creativity, insights, instincts, a sense of humor, and a self-protective conscience, which can keep them safe and healthy. Our life’s journey is to find our path to peace and…
Are “we the people” expecting politicians to save our children and restore family and community values? A politician’s job is to pass laws and spend taxpayers’ money. Beware of giving politicians too much power. Hitler demonstrated how one man took over Germany, gradually becoming a nation of followers. Putin is today’s example of one man’s evil power to…
Americans have seen a gradual decline in family, youth, and neighborhood health and safety.
Every parent’s mission should be to guide and empower children from within.
Neighbors must take back their power and work together to create support for youth.
Americans who are based in the Middle East have been attacked 165 times since the devastating ambush of Israeli citizens on October 7th. Has America’s response worked or failed? As a crime and violence prevention specialist for 40 years, I don’t have experience in national policy, but I do know how to keep the peace…
Americans can win the spiritual battle between love and hate, good and evil. People in free nations choose to believe in a loving God, a controlling God, or no God! A loving God empowers, a controlling God dictates behavior, and no God creates spiritual ignorance. Without any spiritual understanding of self, anger and hate can…
When young people grow up without a foundation of love, support, and respect, they may not understand the difference between good, bad, and evil. However, we see more crime! How many young people are looting, rioting in the streets, lashing out at strangers, and destroying property? When anger turns into violence, American freedom is on…
Americans are watching crime and violence on our streets, with teens and young adults looting stores, rioting, hitting strangers, and killing innocent people. It is sad to see and tragic for everyone who doesn’t feel safe in today’s cities. Yes, we need more police and consequences for criminal behavior, but that will not solve the…
Over the last few decades, Americans saw a massive change from girls protecting their virginity in the 1950s to an increasing number of teenagers actively engaging in sex. Sex gradually became acceptable in movies; today, sexual acts are on daytime TV. Some schools are now talking to young children about sex, different forms of sexual…
Look around and what do you hear and see? Corrupt politicians, a half million people homeless, crime out of control, the police under attack, corrupt leaders and gangs running our cities, child sex trafficking, Sextortion on the internet, millions of people pouring over our border, and we don’t even know what has happened to 85,000…
Many parents neglect to tell children that every human is born with extraordinary powers that can keep them safe and healthy. When teens lack a spiritual understanding, they may go down the rabbit hole of self-destruction. Some teens are experimenting with sex when they are unprepared for any adverse emotional trauma that can follow. They may…
In the ’70s, I saw an ad in the local newspaper inviting residents to experience life regression with Dr. Helen Wambach. Since I discussed my three-hour journey in Part One, I will share my perspective today about good and evil. If young people understood past lives, they might make better choices for their future. During…
There have been 147 mass shootings this year. In Louisville, KY, four died, and nine people were injured at the hands of a 23-year-old man. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear lost his best friend and said, “Violence tears at the social fabric of our community. What we need now is LOVE and wrap our arms around…
Ihave always been fascinated to hear stories of people who experienced past lives. So, in the 70s, I jumped at the opportunity when I saw an ad in the newspaper about Dr. Helen Wambach offering to regress people interested in learning more about their past life. I called my friends and invited them to join me. To…
Many environmentalists are working to clean our oceans, save our forests, plant trees and pick up roadside trash. Politicians pass laws against littering, and city workers try to keep our streets clean. These are all great efforts, but we need everyone involved to “Save Our Planet.” So…how can we make that happen? Cities Need Trained…
Drugs impact children as young as ten or eleven years old. Due to the open Mexican border, Fentanyl pills are killing 300 people a day, including children. Parents should ask…Could my child take a Fentanyl pill by mistake? Why are young people using drugs instead of learning how to live healthy, productive lives? What happened to the…
We must focus on strengthening families and neighborhoods! Today, we need a comprehensive strategy to empower “we the people” to stop young men from killing each other and help citizens create safe streets in our cities.
Today, there are 200,000 sex addicts and 40 million people on Porn sites, leading to unrealistic expectations and a distortion of sex.
Children from abused and neglected homes often experience a spiritual crisis from the adults who are supposed to protect them. They experience loneliness, sadness, anger, frustration, and social isolation and may blame themselves, turn to self-destructive behaviors or become violent.
A society without a moral foundation will fail. Agree or disagree? Let’s look at the facts. Has crime and violence become acceptable as city leaders ignore looting stores and smashing windows to get “free” merchandise? Why are so many Americans taking drugs, shooting each other, and becoming violent? Why are city leaders allowing drugs and illegals…
In the U. S., the obesity epidemic accounts for more than $170 Billion in surplus medical costs per year. However, ordinary citizens have discovered an unexpected solution to this national problem: walkable neighborhoods. By forming walking clubs, Americans are not only losing weight, but they are also fighting crime and creating safer communities. In Bakersfield, California, two mothers started a…
For decades, politicians and community leaders have perpetuated myths as the cycle of drug abuse, gangs, and violence continues from one generation to the next. Such myths include: Myth #1 – Police can keep us safe. Police have a limited role. Additional police on the streets increase response time, but their job is to react…
Parenting is a lifelong responsibility. Your child’s needs will change as the years go on, and as a parent, you’ll have to adapt to your new responsibilities. Working with an organization like Safe Kids Now can help you cultivate a more welcoming and secure community for raising a family. Furthermore, these resources are packed with…
Have you warned your children that there are always consequences for bad behavior? You may not get caught lying, cheating, bullying, stealing, or hurting other people, but you are a unique spiritual being, and your conscience records your behavior. If you steal, bully, or intentionally hurt someone, you may feel good at the moment, but your…
A morally strong America defeated dictators such as Hitler, Hirohito and Mussolini during World War II. Today there are 57 dictatorships worldwide, including Xi Jinping of China, Kim Jong-Un in North Korea and Vladimir Putin of Russia, who want to destroy freedom. Christianity and people of faith are now under attack by Socialists in our…
FOR CITY LEADERS, MAYORS, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, RELIGIOUS LEADERS, NON-PROFIT GROUPS, POLITICIANS, AND THE MEDIA We must reduce FEAR of each other! The proliferation of 400,000,000 guns in America tells us that people live with fear and social isolation as crime, drugs, and violence continue to escalate. There are solutions! Stephanie Mann, Author – Crime and…
As discussed in Part 1 of “A Simple Plan to save America,” we need to involve citizens if we are going to create safe neighborhoods and communities. Crime increases as fear of becoming a victim increases. Americans who feel powerless have armed themselves with 400,000,000 guns, which tells us, we need a new strategy to…
Let’s stop assuming politicians can save us! They talk big, spend our money, and pass laws, but they can’t preserve American culture or values. Only “We the People” can save ourselves. COVID has taken a devastating toll as drugs, crime, violence, and suicide has dramatically increased. We have seen how important it is for young…
I have always been fascinated to hear stories of people who experienced past lives. So, in 1973 when I saw an ad in the newspaper about Dr. Helen Wambach offering to regress people interested in learning more about their past life, I jumped at the opportunity. I called my friends and invited them to join me.…
In 2022, Americans experienced 213 mass shootings, with the recent shooting of nineteen children and two teachers in Texas. President Biden addressed politicians, stating, “Do something for God’s sake!” The only time the media or politicians mention God is after another tragedy. What’s missing is the voice of the religious community. When people die due…
The “Greatest Generation” began in 1901. The “Silent Generation” started in the 1920s to the ’30s, and after World War 11 came the “Baby Boomers.” From 1965 through the 1980s, the “Gen X Generation” grew. The “Millennials” are the children of baby boomers, which ended in 2004. Today we have the “Jackass Generation,” which split…
The tragic shooting in Buffalo, NY, leaves ten dead at the hands of an 18-year-old young man. Politicians say, “We must pass more laws to get guns off the streets to keep communities safe.” For years, “experts” assumed guns were the problem. Guns are one piece of the puzzle. Americans have experienced 273 mass shootings…
All humans are spiritual beings! Everyone has hidden talents, inner wisdom, imagination, instincts, and intuition, with various emotions. We can develop self-respect and self-control to make our lives happy and successful. American culture has sexualized society. Today, there are 200,000 sex addicts and 40 million people on Porn sites, leading to unrealistic expectations and a distortion of…
I think most of us would agree that it seems like the world is spinning out of control in these current times. Worldwide, the spins caused by ‘spin’ are occurring with ever increasing velocity and potency. It reminded me of when the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded. In the last seconds before the explosion, NASA reported…
God designed the human body and soul to keep us safe and healthy. Unfortunately, most people these days don’t believe in or seek the power of the inner spirit. Instead, we desire instant solutions. We look for doctors to cure us, police to protect us, public teachers to raise our children, and the government to help pay our bills. No doubt, politicians have distracted us from God’s plan for our…
What motivated Will Smith to slap Chris Rock at the Academy Awards? The slap was an instantaneous reaction to a statement within the joke made by Chris Rock. Unintentionally-provoked violent behavior and verbal abuse tell us about an individual’s lack of self-awareness and self-control. Time to address root causes of violence Violence can occur when…
Vladimir Putin, the Communist leader of Russia, launched an unprovoked full-scale assault on Ukraine. American leaders have called him “unhinged” and “mentally unstable” as his Army continues to kill innocent people while destroying the cities and infrastructure of Ukraine. Putin became even more enraged as his war met with stiff resistance, and he threatened to use nuclear weapons. Putin,…
Concerned Americans cannot defeat socialism by electing politicians, creating new laws, or feeling hopeless as TV and radio discuss the socialist agenda. We, the people, must get involved and take back our power. So how do we do that? It is starting to happen as people speak up at school board meetings, call their legislators,…
Nations have been fighting each other since time began. Watching the History Channel, it is hard to believe that 12,000 Americans died fighting in the Pacific each month during World War ll. Today, we have men killing each other in our cities with no end in sight. During every war, leaders worked together, decided on a…
Safe Kids Now Calls on Parents to Step Up LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2021 / The COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside down and created chaos in the lives of families all over the United States.

The Center for Disease Control stated that a record 100,000 people died from 2020 to 2021 from Fentanyl overdoses. In addition, in the first six months of 2021, children’s hospitals nationwide reported a “shocking” 45% increase in the number of self-injury and suicide cases in 5- to 17-year-olds compared to the same period in 2019.…
During the summer of 2020, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, and other cities were burned, looted, and vandalized as citizens and 2,000 police officers were injured. There was little or no discussion from politicians. However, when the Washington Capital was breeched, violence became the topic of discussion. Among Americans, “one in three now believe that…
In America, we have experienced evil people manipulating the Bible to control people’s lives. Pastor Jim Jones took his “followers” to Guyana to create a happy, peaceful colony. He controlled his 900 followers and they killed themselves or were shot when Jim Jones felt threatened by an American Congressman. Other cult leaders included Charles Manson,…
“IN GOD WE TRUST” is printed on the back of every US dollar bill. The US Constitution, for the most part, was written by men of faith. American politicians and many citizens forgot what made America a great nation. During World War ll, Americans who fought and died for freedom were called the “Greatest Generation.” They…
The love of power and money has distorted many Americans’ vision of success and freedom. Politicians and government are dividing our nation, spreading fear, defunding police, assuming the role of parents in schools as violence increases. What can we do? As a crime and violence prevention consultant for 40 years, I’ve worked in every kind of…
The national media’s message is that the government can solve all problems. Without debate or discussion, many people assume the government can “fix” social issues, including family and neighborhood safety. If a democracy is to survive, citizens must be involved to keep the government from assuming too much power. Police departments are militaristic organizations with…
As a crime and violence prevention specialist for 40 years, I would like to share my perspective on Brian Greenspun’s front page article in the Las Vegas Sun 5/30/21 on mass shooting, “What the hell’s wrong with us?” Today the only options discussed by the media to stop shootings are mental health and gun control.…
Beware of politicians telling us they will make life better. Their primary goal is to be reelected to maintain power and control. They often increase taxes, legislate reforms and pass new laws to control people’s behavior which makes Americans weaker and more dependent. The summer of 2020 saw fringe groups in Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Kenosha, Washington…
Today police are leaving cities as “defund police” takes a toll on officers. City leaders are releasing prisoners as crime dramatically increases which puts everyone in jeopardy. Thousands of illegal immigrants are pouring over our southern border. Our justice system is being threatened! Radical activists blame police for violence as young people destroy their own…
Police are NOT the problem! Police are escape goats for politicians who don’t want to discuss the breakdown of the family which has dramatically changed our cities. Targeting police and guns are not “solutions” and will do little or nothing to keep cities safe. What happened that has created so much anger and division in…
Many parents are setting children up to fail. Youth need to know how to survive a drug infested, sexualized, violent culture which is America today. Young people are under attack as drugs, gangs, hate groups, child sex trafficking, child abuse, date rape, internet porn and violence lure youth into self-destructive behaviors. In Detroit during one…
PARENTS: Talk and listen to children! I recommend that every parent watch the documentary, “Athlete A” (on Netflix) which is a wakeup call for adults! This documentary tells us how children are used and abused by sexual predators and why men in control do little to stop it. In “Athlete A,” Dr. Larry Nassar, an…
Americans are evolving into a more enlightened country! However, many of us suffer from anxiety, fear and disappointment because that is the way human beings wake up to reality. As an enlightened people, we become role models for positive change. We don’t need everyone to understand that we are experiencing “spiritual warfare,” good vs.…

Did you ever hear the quote, “You can’t change other people; you can only change yourself?” That includes the relationship between citizens and police.

As a crime and violence prevention consultant, 40 years, I’m frustrated by the national media not seeing THEIR role in spreading Racism. Yes, we must improve race relations and police reform, but we also need media reform. The national media focus has always been, “If it bleeds, it leads.” We need important information but, we…

Our Founding Fathers knew that all men are created equal with inalienable rights to seek life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with freedom for all.
