Yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of Sandy Hook. Yesterday was a stark reminder that our children are not safe anywhere. I thought about that as my happy go lucky child got out and walked into school. I thought about how terrified she would be. I thought about her not having me there. I thought that I wish I could keep her safe. I thought about what I would feel. I couldn't. It makes me tear up just thinking about her being scared. So as I often do I pulled up some info regarding statistics of school shootings here. Here is a link to what I found, http://www.k12academics.com/school-shootings/history-school-shootings-united-states#.VnAdCstMFnE
I don't know what to do, but this isn't a new thing. There are documented shootings in schools from over 100 years ago. The idea that are children were ever safe in school seems strange after reading this.
