Invitation to join us regularly
The WINGS newsletter is published monthly on the fifth day of the month. Each edition will focus primarily on one
of the issues that WINGS deals with. Other articles will appear as needed, but the primary focus will be on one topic. Each
issue will always contain the list of hotlines.
Please feel free to download, or print each issue. We ask that you print out the current issue and make as many
copies as you feel your particular area can use. We also request that you pass this on to others so that they may subscribe.
There is a link available on this site to do that.
As the webmanager, I can be contacted anytime for questions or comments. I am listed on the contact page.
Sincerely,
Ron Berry aka unwriter

My Brother's Testimony
By Paize Fiddler
Wings4Help.com
My youngest brother was sexually abused by two gay men when he was very little, not even 9 years
old yet, I believe. The event was psychologically so powerful and strange that (I'll call him Mike) Mike shoved it way down
deep into his subconscious, unable to think about it and without the first idea how to even approach our very religious parents

Take Action to Protect Children Online
On Monday of this week, MySpace.com provided a number of state Attorney Generals with data on

Make sure you "Minimize Opportunity" for sex offenders to interact with children; keep the computer in a centralized location
so you can monitor your child's usage. Also, if you have your own Myspace or Facebook page, place a Darkness to Light banner
on it to demonstrate your commitment to child safety. Just click here:
