How to keep your kids and yourself safe when gunshots are fired around your house #MotownMom Musings #UrbanLife #Detroit
On Facebook and a friend in Detroit says she just heard shots fired outside her home and then immediately said it’s time to freaking move.
I hate to break it to people, crime is not just in the urban areas anymore. Matter of fact, the more I look at the news (which has been something new to me recently) the more it seems it’s safer in Detroit.
As a long time Detroiter and lover of the city, my children and I have a protocol which I implore all single parents to develop and make sure it’s stuck to no matter what.
As single parents, we don’t have the luxury of just getting up and moving out of the city, and we have to teach the children how to cope with the environment and to stay safe.
Single Mom’s Safety Tips: When you hear shots fired around your home, what should you & your kids do?
- Do not go to the window. Please enforce this with your children. Don’t open the doors, don’t even peek out the curtains or blinds.
- Shut off lights inside the house you’re not using, but put on lights outside of the house to keep people from hiding around your house. Add motion lights on the outside of your home especially in spots you can’t see if you have to look out of a window. Also, invest in a camera system outside of your home. One in the back and home in the front. I suggest the Blink system for about $200. Best investment ever.
- If the gunshots sound close enough it’s okay to call 911, say shots were fired, give them the street and cross-street and if you don’t want to give them your address just tell them at the beginning, middle or end of the block. If you see anything let them know that too. You don’t have to leave your name or number, but at least do your part in reporting it.
- Afterwards, do something that calms you. Read, write, watch a funny movie to take your mind off the stress
In your community, what do you do when shots are fired?
“10 Movie Sequels You Didn’t Know Were Coming In 2018” & #MotownMom’s two cents on them.
Now that you’ve seen the video, this is my take on those movies that are coming.
It’s no secret I’m a movie buff and i had to use my blog to express my love. We’ll go through my love on another post.
10 Movie Sequels You Didn’t Know Were Coming In 2018
- Bad Boys sequel – love them two. Cant wait.
- Insidious – I was terrified and didn’t watch a lot of the first movie
- because I wouldn’t look at it through the fingers over my eyes.
- The Purge – but I’m worried they might just be corny with a lot of B actors.
- Disenchanted – I love her annoying happy self (Amy Adams)
- The Strangers 2 – I was scared of this first movie. Gonna love this one too.
- The Equalizer 2 – I loved Denzel. I watched this first movie over and over again.
I’m not really looking forward to seeing:
- Maze runner 3 – the first one was okay. The second one was torture.
- Goosebumps – I did like it but it really doesn’t scream sequel
What they shouldn’t have even thought about making
- Sherlock Gnomes
- Mamma Mia
Which one are you looking for?
#MotownWriters: In case you were wondering when the #Eclipse2017 happens in #Detroit…
Someone asked me as if I knew it. I googled it and found this.
I’m glad cause I’ll be off of work, but I’m kind of reminded about the movie, Night of the Comet.
Now I know a comet and eclipse are two different things. Yet, their both astrological events that happen and just like the movie everyone is excited to view them.
I’m a writer. A fiction writer at that so I tend to believe in the crazy than the realistic.
Just saying…
