Modern Mom snagged an exclusive interview with one of the stars of the hit CBS show "The Mentalist." Tim Kang is a new dad who has decided to join the campaign for children's safety. Here's what this budding young actor had to say.I expressed some interest in getting involved and had the honor of being invited to speak at the NCMEC Hope Awards and present the Courage Award to Ben Ownby.
It's been said that our children are our greatest natural resource. I feel like we should always be working to protect that natural resource as they are also the most vulnerable to people who want to harm them.
The old standby has become the old standby for good reason and that is to never talk to strangers or reveal any personal information. Besides mom or dad, look for people who can help, such as a uniformed police officer or a mother with children.
How fast time flies when I'm with my daughter. She is so beautiful and so much fun that, in the blink of an eye, an hour has gone by, an entire day has gone by.
You probably don't need to know this, but some of my favorite foods include the stuff we usually throw away…gizzards, tripe, liver. Yeah, you definitely didn't need to know that. [laughs]
Patient.
The only thing you can do as a parent is to raise them to the best of your ability. The rest is up to them.
Agent Kimball Cho on “The Mentalist,” of course!
I am much more aware of my behavior and the example I am setting for my daughter.
It truly is an honor to be working with Ernie Allen and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It's a commitment that I take very seriously. Keeping our kids safe needs to start at home between parent and child, but in a lot of ways, protecting our children is also a team effort. I'm proud to be a part of that team.
