Quote From: jb7ctxI agree with all of you posters on here. It is getting way out of hand. And yes, it will be "copy-cated". For instance, the anniversary date of the Columbine Shootings, is now going to be a day that parents, ( most parents anyway) are going to keep their children home from school, due to certain students, every year, wanting to carry out that same day at their own school. This happended last year here in the county where I am from. All of our county schools were on "heightened alert" because of certain students having a "hit list" to do away with other students they did not like. I kept my children home on that day, and will continue to do so. Now as of this year, 911 , students were wanting to make that day a "student skip day" in memory of those who lost thier lives. Now we are looking at the amish shooting at their school. So sad. I really feel bad for the parents who lost thier children on that day. The man who shot those girls will get the death penalty, however, he will get it probably 20 years from now and I think he should get it now and be done with.
My children have to attend public school and I worry about them each and every day. All I can do is put it in Gods hands and hope they come home safe and sound. If it gets really worse in schools, then I will have no choice but to homeschool my kids. I am really afraid of what this new generation will be like in the years to come.
Things just don't make sense anymore and the fact remains that the country in so many situations is focusing on the wrong issues!! and that children don't even know which way to turn because they don't know who to trust and who to depend upon for positive support, because when our kids go to school the last and first thing on our minds should be I wonder if someone is coming to school with a gun or knife or any type of weapon to harm their child or their best friend??? I homeschooled my daughter for 2yrs and she is now in the 8th grade and sometimes I wonder if that is the right choice because of incidents like this and other things that have happened in the past... Children should not be worrying about things like this, they should be wondering about what to wear the next day, or what their friend is doing or if the test they took made a good grade on it...i was watching the VIEW and Rosie O'Donnell made so good points about guns in general and I agree with her on everything she said, I THINK WHEN PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GO GET A GUN THEY SHOULD BE ON A LIST WHERE THEY CAN BE CONTACTED ANYTIME TO ALLOW AUTHORITIES TO JUST FOLLOW UP ON THEIR WELL BEING, AND TO SEE HOW OFTEN THEY USE THEIR GUN AND WHY, AND TO SET UP SOMETHING IN EACH CITY OR STATE TO WHERE THE GUN OWNER IS LIABLE TO PAY SOMETHING TOWARDS EVERYONE WHO HAS USED A GUN FOR KILLING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING OTHER THEN SELF DEFENSE WHICH MAY IN TURN MAKE STRONGER RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR PEOPLE WHO DO SELL THEM, BECAUSE WAITING PERIODS AND IDS ARE NOT ENOUGH...!!! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE SOON NOT LATER.. THANKS FOR READING...
