NEW YORK and PITTSBURGH, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- In a coordinated effort to send the "msg" to their communities, families and the government about the dangers of distracted driving, TheMotherhood.com, along with mom bloggers and social media moms, have launched a multi-platform online public service campaign, Mom Sends the Msg: Keep your Mind on the Wheel.

Utilizing the reach of numerous social networking outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, TheMotherhood.com and mom blogs, mothers across the country are tackling the epidemic of distracted driving head on by signing a pledge, blogging the stats and stories, making video PSAs (public service announcements) and printing up "window messages" for their cars.
