Ever since humans first discovered drugs thousands of
years ago, there’s been a pandemic of epic proportions sweeping throughout the
world: drug abuse and addiction. For generations it has affected children
throughout the world, and no country is left untouched by the consequences of
drug abuse.
In America, child abuse is heavily correlated with drug
and alcohol abuse by the parents or guardians. Children of all ages suffer from
their parents’ substance abuse, from one day old to eighteen years old. Older
children may blame themselves for their parents’ substance abuse problems. As
the children grow up in homes with substance abuse, they also model their
parents’ behavior and are four times more likely to use drugs.
As parents abuse alcohol and drugs, the chances of
neglect, abuse and abandonment rise exponentially. Parents who abuse substances
usually end up losing their jobs, becoming incarcerated and socializing with
dangerous groups of people, such as drug dealers and other addicts. The parents
may even end up homeless, leaving a child to fend for themselves or become a
foster child. This is especially pronounced in the inner cities and more
impoverished areas of America.
Parents who abuse substances also have impaired judgment
skills, which may lead to them directly ignoring their child when they need
medical and physical help. Parents in search of more substances to abuse are
most likely to abandon their children as they constantly seek the newest and
best drug. Alcoholic parents are most likely to physically and emotionally
abuse their child. Sexual abuse is increased by the parents socializing with
drug dealers and other addicts who take advantage of defenseless children.
The most powerful weapon against substance abuse and
child abuse is education. Very few programs in the U.S. are effective in
implementing both education and direct support to children who are
disadvantaged. One of these effective programs is “Children of the Son”. Children
of the Son is a 1000+ acre ranch that abused and foster care girls can enjoy
during their yearly summer camp from June to mid-August. Jamey Madonna, the leader
of this organization, also spearheaded an educational system that allows
investors to push their resources into organizations that fight child abuse and
neglect. Through Mr. Madonna’s efforts, tens of thousands of dollars have
flowed into national and international charitable programs that feed directly
into education about child abuse and combating this American epidemic.
What are the long-term effects of child abuse, if the
child receives no counseling or help from programs such as Children of the Son?
The consequences are staggering. Children who are abused and neglected as a
result of their parents’ substance abuse are more likely to be abused when they
are adults due to their ineffectual coping patterns and lack of external
control locus. Children, especially females, are very vulnerable to future
spousal abuse since they learn to expect abuse early on in life. Children who
grow up abused and neglected by substance abuse parents also have a higher rate
of psychological disorders in adulthood: manic depression, eating disorders,
suicidal thoughts and intentions, and even social anxiety - most likely related
to the inability to form a solid positive social connection with their parents
from a young age.
Despite the factors pitted against them, children
of substance abusers who experience abuse and neglect are some of the most
resilient survivors. Programs such as Children of the Son allow these young
girls and boys the best chance to overcome the dire circumstances they are born
into through no fault of their own. Every adult in America must become actively
engaged in giving resources and thought to such programs to ensure the next
generation is given the best chance for success and change! Jamey Madonna is the Founding Director of “Children of
The Son”, a non-profit organization for children who are victims of abuse,
neglect, poverty and abandonment. He currently operates a recreation camp for
girls on his 1000 acre ranch in southern Colorado.
He owns his own luxury travel business with Global
Resorts Network that generates over $1 Million annually to support children in
foster care through his ministry. www.childrenoftheson.org

If a child is twelve years old and in foster care, they
have a 90% chance of “aging out” of foster care. Children who enter foster care
after the age of twelve, or simply grow up in foster care until they are twelve,
are never given the chance to have a family. In fact, 25,000 children “age out”
of foster care every year. Aging out is what occurs when foster care children
turn eighteen or twenty-one, and are no longer eligible for the benefits of the
child welfare system. Aging out happens to foster care children who are never
adopted, and never know the permanence and love of a single family. When a
child ages out of foster care, they are considered an adult and are no longer
“property” of the state.
A note to remember
is that all states have different policies regarding the benefits “aged-out”
foster youth have once they reach eighteen years of age. Some states allow
former foster care children to keep health insurance until they are twenty-one,
and even provide tuition for state college. Some completely cut off benefits on
their eighteenth birthday, and foster children are given no shelter or
educational chances. Some cut off benefits when they graduate from high school,
under the assumption that somehow they can magically take care of themselves
with a high school degree alone.
The amount of post-foster care assistance that an aged-out
youth receives also depends on the quality of the social worker. Most foster
children go through multiple social workers a year. Most social workers are
bogged down by so many cases that they lose the ability to know their foster
children personally. Programs also change annually, especially when new budgets
are approved in state governments. Social workers often do not have the time to
learn about new programs or new guidelines for foster care children. Many
social workers also handle different types of cases at once, and cannot focus
specifically on foster care children. This leads to thousands of children never
receiving the post-foster care living programs and training they are entitled.
The consequence of a child aging out of foster care reaps
a grim future indeed. 25% of them end up homeless. Chances are this number is
much higher as you examine populations closer to age eighteen, when aged-out
foster children are usually “kicked out” by the system. 56% of them are
unemployed. Foster children who age out usually have no resources to even find
jobs from the beginning; often lacking adequate transportation or even having
an appropriate wardrobe. Most foster children also have no references for
getting apartments or jobs. Two-thirds of them will never get a college degree
either, due to the lack of professional references, proper high school
education and lack of financial resources.
Aged-out foster youth also lack basic psychological
counseling, which is absolutely mandatory for any child who has lost their
entire family, siblings, and has been subject to abuse. The system itself
abuses foster children in that it often splits up siblings, so much that some
may never see each other again, or see each other only very rarely. To complement
this, foster children who have aged-out experience clinical social anxiety,
PTSD and personality disorders years into adulthood as their minds try to cope with
the trauma they have endured for far too long.
For children who age out of foster care, primary
mental health, physical health and material needs must be fulfilled well beyond
their eighteenth birthdays. The only way we can improve the lives of foster
children who have aged-out is to participate in changing the way we practice
social work. We also must challenge ourselves to be role-models to these young
adults who have been constantly knocked down since birth. We can change the
situation only by working together for solutions. The lives of former foster
care youth are depending on our success for change. Jamey and Katrina Madonna are the Founding Directors of
“Children of The Son”, a non-profit organization for children who are victims
of abuse, neglect, poverty and abandonment who are living in foster care,
residential facilities and the inner-city. They currently operate a summer
recreation camp for girls on a 1000 acre ranch.

permanent place of residence on his beautiful ranch for children ages 13 -21
who have run away, been abandoned or have “aged out” of the foster care system.

Imagine yourself when you were eighteen years old. Now
imagine that you were kicked out of the house on your eighteenth birthday,
allowed to keep only the things you could carry on your back. Imagine that all
ties to your family were completely severed. Imagine that you had no one to turn
to for any money whatsoever. You have nowhere to live, no references to get an
apartment, you work a part-time job and you’re still trying to graduate high
school.
Chances are you were nowhere near ready to live
completely on your own when you just turned eighteen. Unfortunately, children
who are neglected, placed in foster care, or outright abandoned face this same situation
the day they turn eighteen years old.
Child abuse in America is a taboo topic in most social
circles. Most adults don’t dare to speak of it or imagine the consequences
suffered by victimized children of abuse and neglect. After all, it is very
hard for most people to imagine that anyone would harm a child. It is also very
hard to admit the sad and dysfunctional system that has become foster care in
America. Most Americans believe that as long as they pay their taxes, they are
doing their part for children of abuse, abandonment and neglect. This couldn’t be
further from the truth.
Most statistics about children of abuse and neglect are
inaccurate and often biased. 1 out of 3 homeless people in America is a former
foster care child. Many state programs boast that they offer follow-up care for
children who are current and former foster care children. Even if these
programs are offered, usually children never reap the benefits. Whether or not
they get benefits depends on their case-worker. Most foster care children go
through 2-5 case-workers a year. With so much turn-around, most foster care
children never have time to establish a bond with a single case-worker and in
turn, never get referred or receive help from foster care programs.
Some people believe that all foster care children get
free money to cover the costs of college. This also couldn’t be further from
the truth. Foster care children apply for college aid as “independent
students”, and the amount they receive is usually capped around $2400 per
semester, depending on the state. College hasn’t cost less than $2400 per
semester since the early 1990s. To top things off, they usually receive no
guidance about where to get financial aid; they have no parents to help apply
and no computer to apply to FAFSA. Foster care children can’t even apply for
PLUS loans or other student loans, as they have no parents to co-sign for them.
Can you imagine life even worse than this? As a foster
care child, if you haven’t “aged-out” of foster care yet, then life is usually
much worse. Some states require as little as twelve hours of instruction in
foster care to receive a permit to keep foster care children. Some states don’t
even run background checks on every foster care parent! For example, one couple
in the Midwest was charged with locking up their malnourished foster care child
in a closet, who later died. The couple burned the child’s body and threw him
out like a ragdoll. After an investigation, the couple was found with previous
charges of child abuse that had gone unnoticed by the foster care agency.
Is this the legacy we want to leave for the next
generation? Countless foster care children are “survivors” of the foster care
system and will share their stories of human enslavement that will ring for
generations to come. In the foster care system, we have thrown away victims of
neglect and abandonment. The worst of the cases are appalling; so much that
foster care children wish they had died or had been aborted rather than live
through foster care.
How can we stop this vicious cycle? First of all, every
adult needs to know the truth about child neglect and report it early. Child
abuse usually starts with emotional abuse. By stopping the abuse at this stage
and remedially correcting the adult’s behavior with cognitive and behavioral
change, we can mitigate further abuse and keep children with their parents if
possible.
Second, we must change the foster care system
dramatically. There needs to be more private donations, charity and grants for
foster care children. There also needs to be a change in how we compensate our
social workers. Whether children are in the system one day or eighteen years,
we need to ensure the health and well-being of every child that trusts their
lives with us. Without change, we may be losing millions of the next generation
to a nightmare of abuse, abandonment and severe neglect. Jamey and Katrina Madonna are the Founding Directors of

I
am opening up a doorway to the EXACT System that I use to make a MINIMUM of 10
GRAND per week! I am looking to teach 10 people (1-on-1), how to do the same
thing. Here I am, ready to help you!
Let
me ask you a couple of questions...
"How
long has it been since you actually received an offer like that, if ever?"
"How
long has it been since you have made any REAL money online, if ever?"
I
have a SYSTEM in place that is currently putting thousands of dollars into my
pocket (and every student's pocket that I plug into the system) each and every
week! I'm going to show you exactly how my students and I are doing it and how
YOU will too! If you're not making at least 20 GRAND per month already then you
really have no reason not to check this out! I will take you by the hand &
show you step-by-step what to do and make sure you understand everything
clearly!
My
goal is to have YOU up to 20 GRAND per month within the next 60 days!
Like
I said, I am going to show just 10 people this system so
DON'T
PROCRASTINATE!
Are
you tired of talking to prospects on the phone?
Are you tired of small commissions that don't even buy a decent dinner out?
Are you tired of trying to figure out how to get people to your site?
For the last 5 months my partners and I have been focused on creating a system
that eliminates all of these things. In fact I'd go as far as to say that we've
eliminated every human variable.
Why
did we do that? Because we're tired of seeing good people lose money.
This is a marketing system that eliminates all the variables that cause people
to fail.
No
Selling. No prospecting. No phone calls. No hotel meetings. Not MLM.
Have
you ever wished you could have been in the right place at the right time?
At the beginning of something so huge that it changed your life forever. You
are now being offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Please do not let this pass you by simply because you think you've heard it all
before. I virtually guarantee that you have not seen anything quite like this and
you probably never will again! Whatever you want you can have it, right here and
now by taking advantage of being in the right place at the right time.
We welcome everyone, regardless of experience and background...in fact it makes
NO difference. You are literally a step away from this unique opportunity in
one of the largest industries!!
It costs nothing to look, and I promise you that you will hear about this
again, maybe in 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years and you will.... WISH that you had
taken action first time around!

Move over Google!
Look out Yahoo!... ZABANG™ is coming to town! From your friend Jamey Madonna
Hi
everyone,
Have you
ever "just missed" one of those *big* opportunities that you *knew*
could've been BIG for you... if you'd just *acted*?
I'll tell
you what... I sure have. And if you're like me at all, when you sit back and
think about that lost opportunity, you know it doesn't feel very good, does it?
Well
here's what I've got. Something just came across my desk that I truly believe
will be the NEXT BIG THING, and I simply could not wait one moment to get this
in your hands.
So HOW
big? I'm talking "Amazon" big. I'm talking "AOL" big... I'm
talking "buying 50,000 shares at Microsoft's IPO" big. :-)
One of
the internet's best minds
You know
who Mike Glaspie is right? He's the guy who founded and runs sites like
BannersGoMLM.com, BannerCo-op.com, FreelinksNetwork.com, FreeMarketingInfo.biz,
NoBSZone.com, MySiteInc.com, NetMarketing2005.com, and several other sites, all
of which are easily within the top 1% of all sites visited online.
Well, I'm
in what I'd guess you'd call his "inner circle"... he lets me and a
just handful of other folks know about certain opportunities he's involved in
or has heard about, before anyone else, so we can get the "jump" on
the marketplace.
And as I
read about his latest project, I got so excited, I had to stop everything cold,
and get this out to you. There simply is not a moment to spare.
It seems
that for the past several months, Mike G has been working quietly on a new
project. This project is going to have every marketer on the planet
clamoring for a piece. (And btw, YOU are literally one of the very first to hear
about this, so if you want a piece, it is YOURS for the taking!)
So here it
is, here is what Mike is working on that is so monstrously big... Mike is
putting the final touches on a series of sites that are going to revolutionize
the search engine business. The cornerstone site of this project is a
"tier 1" search engine called Zabang.com,
and it's ultimate goal is nothing less than to topple Google itself from the
search-engine throne... and you know what? I fully believe it's going to do it.
I just don't see any way it can't!
The
technology is already in place. Everything is thought out and all the pieces
put together. And soon, Mike G is going to launch this to the world. But before
he does, YOU have the chance to get in on this NOW! I don't know what
could be a more "ground floor" opportunity than this.
A brand
new approach to search engines
Now search
engines have been done, but they all have one big problem for people like you
and me... they don't provide any incentive to the marketer. For example, if you
tell someone to go look something up on Google, who benefits from that? Why,
Google does! Google gets the traffic, the viewer sees their ads that their
advertisers pay them for, and so on. What do you get? Squat!
Mike has
changed all of that. Zabang is built from the net marketer up, instead of from
the "computer techs" down. (And yet, search results are blazingly
fast... AND relevant. In fact, faster and more relevant than the other big
names.)
See, Mike
knows how to penetrate a market fast and big... reward others BIG TIME for
doing it for you! Through ZabangSolutions.com (the site that manages the Zabang
affiliate program), you'll get a FULL TEN PERCENT commission on every
pay-per-click or sponsor purchase made by those you refer... for the LIFE of the customer.
Yes, that's right, I said the entire life of that customer.
Refer
someone just once (using banners, links, or the Zabang search bar on your site)
and you could easily be paid over and over again for years!
But it
doesn't stop there... you see, ZabangSolutions offers a two-tier affiliate program.
(Now this isn't M.L.M or network marketing, it's just two tiers.) This means
that whenever you refer someone to Zabang and that person then becomes an
affiliate like you, anyone THEY refer goes under you also, and you'll both get
commissions from that customer... the affiliate you referred gets 10%, and you
get a 5% override commission! Again,
for the life of the customer!
But not
"just" a search engine!
And there
is more! Zabang will offer first class hosting solutions featuring options from
no-cost all the way up to extremely sophisticated hosting options. Each one
guaranteeing indexing (listing) at Zabang.com.
You would expect nothing less from Zabang. And when your referrals host with
ZabangHost.com, you get 10% & 5% all over again for the life of the
customer's account. And there's no selling, just refer people to Zabang.com
to do their online searches and they'll take it from there. It's completely
passive... and totally viral.
You know,
I almost forgot to mention one of the best parts. (This is why I love Mike G,
he is truly an unparalleled marketing genius!) Mike is also creating a
companion site to Zabang called ZabangMail.
ZabangMail.com
will offer 100% spam-free, free email accounts, the best this state of
the art technology has to offer to-date. And they don't use filters. They have
their own proprietary technology for eliminating spam from your in-box. Users
of ZabangMail.com will never have to worry that mail they want to receive will
be filtered just because it contains words or phrases that couldn't pass
through. And because ZabangMail.com is their own ISP they give guaranteed
whitelisting to all publishers.
Now
remember (and this is important), ZabangMail.com is a companion to Zabang.com.
Each one will promote the other. ZabangMail users will have a tag message at
the bottom of their email just like Hotmail, just like Yahoo, etc. But this one
will give a brief blurb about searching Zabang.com,
but with a twist... are you ready? The URL in the tag message at the bottom
of all user's email will also be (if elected) the affiliate's link for Zabang.com! Think about it...
get just a few people to sign up for ZabangMail, and every single email they
send out will track back to YOUR Zabang account earning you an override all
over again! We're talking major cross promotion, and hyper viral marketing. It
truly is going to be huge.
Just to give you an idea
Just to
give you an idea how big Zabang is destined to become... already their Alexa
ranking is in the top 1/10 of 1% of all sites visited online... and this
is only a private invitational pre-registration period! Wow!
So drop
what you are doing right now and get pre-registered for the two-level affiliate
program. At the very least, you get guaranteed "indexing"
(i.e. listed in the search results at Zabang.com)
as an affiliate (which is a HUGE benefit). Then, you'll be emailed an
invitational letter with your link dropped in so you can send it along to your
closest contacts. They'll keep accurate track of your referrals and when
Zabang™ launches, you will have complete stats of all your referrals and
commissions earned.
