Are We Every Truly Safe

I think the honest answer to that question is no. But, I really don't need reminders of it, life is scary enough as it is. This week, Abigale's former Middle School in VA has a student that has threatened to do a school shooting today. News traveled fast around the school and by Wednesday it was all over the local news and the students and parents were swirling in information, some true and some not. Apparently, an 8th grader left several death threats in student's lockers and made it well know that he intended to do a school shooting on Friday (today). The police were called and the county and school officials immediately lept into action. The kid's residence was searched and he was interviewed by the police. No weapons were found and we are unclear on what his punishment will be, but I can tell you that this situation has left an entire community rocked with fear. Many of Abigale's friends are at home today because they and their parents are too frightened to send their kids to school. This world of ours has gotten too crazy and I do fear what type of world my children and grandchildren will live in. Stay tuned!
