Melania Trump unveils steps to make ‘Be Best’ even best-er
Associated PressWASHINGTON — A year after launching her first major initiative, Melania Trump unveiled plans Tuesday to make her “Be Best” children’s program even best-er. New steps in the first lady’s second-year push include broadening the program’s focus on drug abuse and social media use, along with her second international trip to promote its goals. She withheld the destination, however, saying the “details are still coming together.” Mrs. Trump launched “Be Best” a year ago to focus on child well-being, social media use and drug abuse. Stephen Balkam, founder and chief executive officer of the Family Online Safety Institute, applauded the first lady’s shift to focus on online safety, calling it a “smart move” that could draw attention to a larger set of issues, ranging from the amount of time children spend in front of screens to “sexting.” “I am encouraged,” said Balkam, whose international nonprofit group tries to help children and families avoid dangers online.
