Utah Child Protection Registry

For anyone living in Utah with children:

This was sent to me at work and it seems like a good thing to me so I thought I would forward it on. I know that someof you I am sending it to may not have kids at home (but do any of your nieces or nephews ever play on your cell phones or computers), but I also figured it would be something good to send on.:

The Utah Child Protection Registry was created on the idea that, just as millions of Americans have the choice to protect their home phone numbers from solicitors, they should also have the choice to protect their families from unwanted, adult-oriented advertisements. Here it goes:

Modeled after the National Do Not Call Registry, Utah established laws to protect e-mail addresses, mobile phone numbers (SMS), instant messenger IDs, and fax numbers from adult-oriented solicitations. These solicitations may include, but are not necessarily limited to: illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco, pornography, and gambling. And like the do-not-call list, when you register your family addresses, you are removing your contact information from adult-oriented company and marketing solicitation lists.

This is a free, state administered service. For additional information and to register your household contact points today, visit www.kidsregistry.utah.gov
