Hints for children and parents:

Experts agree that a few simple rules can help to protect children from abduction: A child should never get in a car with a stranger, no matter what pretext or ploy he may use.

Use a password. A child should go with no one unless that person uses the password.

A child should never disclose that he is alone in the house if someone calls or comes to the door.

A child's name should never be in a visible place on his clothing.

Parents should keep a child with them in a store or public place.

Parents should never leave a child alone in a car, even for a few minutes.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
