Nevada Teens Can Text to Find a Safe Place

No one is better at texting than a teenager. Now, this ability can not only keep them in touch with friends, it can keep them safe.

A new program from the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth is taking advantage of the texting craze, according to an Oct. 15 report on CBS Channel 8's Las Vegas Now website:
The National Safe Place Campaign hopes texting will make the program more teen-friendly and make it easier for teens to reach out when they need help.

Teens have to text the word Safe and their address to 69866. they'll get a text message right back with the nearest Safe Place location. It's available 24-hours a day.
