Our sport's reporter lost his daughter and he created this in honor of her and "distracted" driving. He is reaching people. He has had a law created. He has supporters. DARE was created by law enforcement and ran by police officers. I am not sure the commitment was there or the funds properly allocated. I happened to live in IL and knew a police officer in charge of the DARE program out there. I don't think DARE had support from media and now, given all the social media, it could fare much better this time around. Kids are always looking for direction so hopefully this program can gain reinforcement and start again. It is so important that a young mind understand how a stupid idea can turn into a permanent and life changing event. <br /><br />Brenda Keck<br />bk562515@ohio.eduMedia Ethicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093149459039896410noreply@blogger.com
