Michelle Obama Speaks on Abducted Chibok girls in Mother's Day Address

Posted: 10 May 2014 02:14 PM PDT


Tomorrow is Mothers Day in the United States and first lady Michelle Obama while delivering the weekly radio address which is usually done by President Barack Obama, expressed her dismay over the kidnapping of some 200 girls in Nigeria last month.

Full Address on the White House website

Hello everyone, I'm Michelle Obama, and on this Mother's Day weekend, I want to take a moment to honor all the mothers out there and wish you a Happy Mother's Day.

I also want to speak to you about an issue of great significance to me as a First Lady, and more importantly, as the mother of two young daughters.

Like millions of people across the globe, my husband and I are outraged and heartbroken over the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls from their school dormitory in the middle of the night.

This unconscionable act was committed by a terrorist group determined to keep these girls from getting an education – grown men attempting to snuff out the aspirations of young girls.

And I want you to know that Barack has directed our government to do everything possible to support the Nigerian government's efforts to find these girls and bring them home.

In these girls, Barack and I see our own daughters. We see their hopes, their dreams – and we can only imagine the anguish their parents are feeling right now.

Many of them may have been hesitant to send their daughters off to school, fearing that harm might come their way.

But they took that risk because they believed in their daughters' promise and wanted to give them every opportunity to succeed.

The girls themselves also knew full well the dangers they might encounter.

Their school had recently been closed due to terrorist threats…but these girls still insisted on returning to take their exams.

They were so determined to move to the next level of their education…so determined to one day build careers of their own and make their families and communities proud.

And what happened in Nigeria was not an isolated incident…it's a story we see every day as girls around the world risk their lives to pursue their ambitions.

It's the story of girls like Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan.

Malala spoke out for girls' education in her community…and as a result, she was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman while on a school bus with her classmates.

But fortunately Malala survived…and when I met her last year, I could feel her passion and determination as she told me that girls' education is still her life's mission.

As Malala said in her address to the United Nations, she said "The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born."

The courage and hope embodied by Malala and girls like her around the world should serve as a call to action.

Because right now, more than 65 million girls worldwide are not in school.

Yet, we know that girls who are educated make higher wages, lead healthier lives, and have healthier families.

And when more girls attend secondary school, that boosts their country's entire economy.

So education is truly a girl's best chance for a bright future, not just for herself, but for her family and her nation.

And that's true right here in the U.S. as well…so I hope the story of these Nigerian girls will serve as an inspiration for every girl – and boy – in this country.

I hope that any young people in America who take school for granted – any young people who are slacking off or thinking of dropping out – I hope they will learn the story of these girls and recommit themselves to their education.

These girls embody the best hope for the future of our world…and we are committed to standing up for them not just in times of tragedy or crisis, but for the long haul.

We are committed to giving them the opportunities they deserve to fulfill every last bit of their God-given potential.

So today, let us all pray for their safe return... let us hold their families in our hearts during this very difficult time…and let us show just a fraction of their courage in fighting to give every girl on this planet the education that is her birthright.  Thank you.

Funny Picture - When a Baby Takes Over the Parent's Bed

Posted: 10 May 2014 02:01 AM PDT


I don't think I'll have our baby share our bed, but a lot of parents do, either for their first child or the latest one.These are parents of babies who they feel are too young to sleep in a crib, or in another room by themselves. Sometimes, the mother wants the baby in the bed especially if she's breastfeeding so that it would be more convenient to feed the baby at night.

I understand all these reasons, and they are very valid. However, the picture above shows how allowing the child to sleep with the parents can turn night time to activity and play time for the baby and marathon time for the mom and dad. At a point the dad even has to move to the couch, lol...

Has this ever happened to you or someone you know?

Man Attempts to Lead Toddler Away When Mother Turned Her Back In a Busy Mall

Posted: 10 May 2014 12:05 AM PDT


Images from a CCTV recording in a busy shopping centre have shown how a man had wanted to lead a toddler away from his mother who had turned her back for just a few minutes.



In the CCTV footage shared on DailyMail, the young family can be seen walking through the shopping centre in Derby, East Midlands. At one point (far left), the unnamed mother walks very slightly ahead of her child – and seconds later a man wearing a dark jacket and a cap appears.

He then approaches the 22-month-old (second left) as the child follows his mother into a store. The man then appears to try and persuade the child to walk off with him (second right). But the unnamed mother turns around (right) and challenges the man, who then seems to apologise and walk off.


Police are now appealing for witnesses to this shocking incident – which took place on Thursday morning.

This is every parents nightmare and it is so scary for me how little time was needed for the man to take the child away. It couldn't have been up to a minute! I was brought up to always have those younger than I am and who I am in charge off walk ahead of me in a public place or along the road. Please parents and carers of little ones, do shine your eyes.
