A news story out of Wisconsin tells a sad tale of a father who has allegedly killed his three daughters. He and his wife were divorced in January, and she had custody of the children in Madison, while he lived in North Dakota.
11-year-old Amara Schaffhausen, 8-year-old Sophie and 5-year-old Cecilia The court testimony provides some grisly details, but little illumination on why this heinous incident occurred.
The three girls attended Greenwood Elementary School, which is in summer break. Even so, the school has opened its doors, and has provided personnel to assist people with processing their grief and shock. It is always difficult for a school when they lose one of their own. Losing three is a tragedy that will take some time from which to recover, especially with the incident's horrific nature.
As a society, this incident raises numerous questions that are not the purview of this blog. Of greater concern here is how a school would begin to recover from something like this. From the details I have gleaned, it appears that this school is off on the right track. Serving as a source of comfort and aid solidifies the school's role in the community, and is serving as a focal point for recovery. It appears that this school has thought ahead, and was prepared.
