‘Safe at the Stop’
In our latest blog venture, STN has created SafeAtTe-
Stop.blogspot.com, a blog focused on protecting our communities from the sexual predators that lurk in the shaded areas of our parks, in ominous crowds at children’s soccer games and, sometimes, in houses down the street. As with all of our blogs, leave a comment on a post you find most interesting or ask a question we might be able to answer. Also, if you’d like to contribute to the blog, send an e-mail to
stephane@stnonline.com.
