Hi folks,
I know this is way off any topic normally found here. But living only 20 miles away from this tragedy, it hits a little close to home.
The third one of these school shootings to happen in less than a week...and a one room Amish school house for heaven's sake. I send my kids to Catholic school on the naive security that they may be a little safer than public school (among other reasons..not just that)
If the AMISH aren't even safe in their little one room schoolhouse, what the hell are the rest of us supposed to do? Who would even target the Amish? What did they ever do to anyone. Not that any victim of this kind of violence deserves it. But Amish?
My in-laws homeschool their kids and I apologize if there are any other homeschoolers on here, but I don't see that as a viable option for our family. So what is a parent supposed to do these days. I know we can't raise our kids in a steel bubble.
I apologize for the rant. But as a mother who's first child just started kindergarten this year, my nerves are a little raw anyway. And to have something so horrible happen so close. aaagghh. i know I will be saying a prayer for everyone affected by this tragedy. |
