I hate that the mental health crisis in this country continues to get worse everyday. Mass shooting yesterday feels like the regular norm. My biggest fear in life is not being able to protect my children… I would do anything including giving my own life without thinking for a second for them and my family. These mass shootings are absolutely gut wrenching and the most horrible shit going after helpless people and especially children. Fn cowards. I try to not let the news impact me personally (and I don’t watch it for keep track of what’s going on) but this stuff gets me down to my core and feel completely helpless. This week - an extremely behaviorally and mentally disturbed child at our school threatened to shoot the school up on Thursday (today). My daughter yesterday said “Mom/Dad, I can’t go to school tomorrow because (redacted) is going to shoot people tomorrow at school.” 🥺🥺 Another kid wrote in the bathroom today at 2:10 you better be ready, its happening. My daughter and son calling me terrified with huge police presence at the school 😢😢😢 We picked them up of course, but something has to change. We have to get better. I’m not posting this for a response or to say what’s right or wrong for whomever has a belief on this .. not interested in cognitive biases or groupthink. I just know it’s not working whatever we are doing and it’s getting worse year after year 😞 The school handled this the absolute best way they could but I can’t even imagine what they deal with on a daily basis with these kids. Thank you for keeping my kids safe. Huge respect for them and teachers/schools around this country for what they do everyday. I hate this so much.
