Another "problem" I have seen are the parents who have a child in the cart, realize they forgot something and walk away leaving the child unattended. Again, it only takes a split second for someone to grab a child and run. Or, walking at the mall, how many times have you seen the parent(s) walking 10 feet in front of their child, telling them to hurry up, without even turning around to see where they are at?
I had one woman, with an 18 month in the cart (coming through my check-out), she put her items up for me to scan and when I looked up to receive payment, I saw that she walked completely away from my register, all the way down to the end to help her other 3 children find candy. She never said, "I'll be right back", "can you watch my kid for a moment"? She didn't say a word. With no one behind her, had I been called away or turned away for just a moment, someone could have grabbed that child and the mother would have been wondering "why me, why my child"! People have to stop believing "it can't happen to me, it can't happen here". It can, it has and, unfortunately, it will happen again.
Yes, you can't watch your children 24 hours - but, again, common sense goes a very long way to help protecting children.
For those people who will want to know if I have any children: No, I have four cats. But I do not have to have children to know what it is like to raise them. I, and my two brothers, have NOT forgotten what our parents taught us what is proper, appropriate and JUST PLAIN COMMON SENSE.
To Chillichow - Hi there. Most of the "companies" I know about are online. You may want to check out the following:
TranscriptionMatters.com Contract-transcription.com Net Transcripts - this is a completely law enforcement transcription website. From the blogs, there hasn't been one negative comment from anyone. I'm hoping to start typing for them in the next few weeks. They do require a $55.00 payment from people before going to work for them, but after you pass their testing and complete so many hours of typing, you can apply for the $55 fee to be refunded.
I don't have much background for histopath or radiology. I have done some radiology, but not a lot. Most of my work deals with letters to other physicians, general H&Ps.
Please stay in touch and let me know how you are doing. My best wishes and kindest regards from Michigan, USA.
