As a parent, I cannot fathom the devastation of today's bloodbath. I want to know why the gunman's name has not been released. He does not deserve the cover of anonymity one bit, next of kin or not. The victim's parents must know why.
This has been a monstrous harbinger. We must teach our children to cope with anger, and set the example. Through the media they have been desensitized and do not understand the finality of death. We must do whatever we can to keep guns from their reach. We must always, always, always reassure them that they can come to us - no matter the problem. We must never stop trying to connect with them, especially as they grow up. We must take our heads out of the sand and heed the warning signs.
This, is a very dark day.
