I live in a block of flats, and there is a fire alarm system that runs into every flat. last night my friend pressed the alarm as he thought it was a light switch, and managed to reset it via the panel. expect it went off again this morning. i spoke to my land lord but they cant get hold of the fire alarm people because its the weekend. it wont reset, it keeps going off every few hours, and i feel awful as its sounding in all the flat! every time you try to reset it, its like its not acknowledging that you're pressing buttons. i think there is a yellow flashing thing on it as well, and i read somewhere this means a fault? is there anything i can do, i feel so awful! heeeeelp
Mines work just fine I set it off every time I cook.
Natural consequence of not being responsible online is to not be allowed online. Disable the internet capabilty on the pc, so that she can still type papers for school but that is all. If you don't know how to do this call tech support for the PC they should be able to walk you thru no problem. I think you did the right thing by contacting the authorities, a man of 22 has NO BUSINESS messing with a 13 yr old girl! I'm so sorry this has happened, I wouldn't wish this mess on anyone. As for myspace, she shouldn't have an acct in the first place, the site asks that no one under the age of 16 be allowed to have a page and this situation is just one of the good reasons for that. Blocking certain sites IS NOT ENOUGH, he has her email address and she has his. Communication needs to be cut off completely.
When you are burning indoors any type of liquid or solid fuel for heating, cooking or other use, you should have an active carbon monoxide detector installed in your home. If you have fuel-burning appliances on more than one level of your home, you should have a carbon monoxide detector on each floor. For example, if you have a gas range on the main floor and a wood-burning fireplace on the lower level, you should have detectors on each of these floors. Such fuel-burning appliances are generally tested and safe to use, but should there be a clogged vent line or any part of the appliance that becomes faulty, it could release hazardous levels of carbon monoxide in your home and death can occur within minutes. But you can keep your family safe by using a carbon monoxide detector which can alert you to the presence of this silent toxic gas. If you work regularly on running vehicles in a closed garage, you should also consider installing a unit in that area.
