Violence on School Campuses

Yesterday in Placerville, CA there was a shooting on the campus of an elementary school. The gunman was the school's own janitor. The victim? The school's principal. I don't know about anyone else but this makes me a little nervous. Wait. A little? No, a lot. What in the world?! But then again, this is nothing new. Disgruntled, unstable teenagers and adult persons will find a reason in their brains to commit a violent act amongst children. It happens everywhere around the globe. So then, what are we as parents to do? Are we to lock our children up and never leave the house? Are we to trade their Osh Kosh clothing for bullet-proof attire? What is our solution? I wish I had one. As I sit at my desk at my job, I always think about my toddler. I never really think that a tragic situation may occur at his school and I may never see him again. But the truth of the matter, it might. The only thing we can do is hope and pray that the violence on school campuses end and our children are safe.

Blessings to you mothers out there,
Aurellia
