The  Iris Fine Arts page on the Iris Global Website https://www.irisglobal.org/multimedia/fine-arts#4 will lead you to other gorgeous paintings as well.

are addicted to gaming,
are victims of cyber bullying,
or worse – are part of the estimated 50,000 abductions per year…

Here are 10 common mistakes and 10 potential solutions. The best safeguards to truly help kids stay safe are instilling integrity and wisdom.
