Deer Valley High School Shooting


Last week during my much needed R&R, I got a call saying that there was a shooting at my niece and nephews high school in Antioch. That' a call you never want to receive but thank God that they were not injured, just shaken up to say the lease. The little boy that was shot while walking to school, is expected to make a full recovery. It just makes you wonder where are we as adults going wrong with our youth that we don't value our lives or the lives of others? Is the world really becoming more violent or is it just that we have more media coverage nowadays? What can be done?
Take care of your families and guard them with information to stay away from violence and to be courageous when getting into disagreements to use non-violence to avoid these senseless crimes that effect entire communities. And whatever happened to an old-fashioned fist fight? Those days are gone, so it's time to teach our kids not to have beefs with each other by providing them with promising bright futures.
