Trauma in Sandy Hook Elementary
I learned of this tragedy as my school bus fleet prepared for our annual Christmas luncheon. We held a moment of silence, and then we shared our company with each other, with a renewed sense of life and an awareness of how it could end quickly. It reaffirmed for us why we do what we do, to get our precious cargo to and from school safely.
There are numerous pitfalls that can come after a tragedy like this. The first is to be reactionary. The smoke has barely cleared, literally, and I've already see some of this;
'Put all schools into lockdown!'
'Ban all guns!'
I heard it described succinctly by Dr. Greg Sipes, a psychologist, on local radio. He described left-brained and right-brained thinking. Left-brained thinking governs logical, rational thinking, while the right-brain governs emotional thinking. The reactionary examples come from the right brain. It is a natural response to trauma such as this, and should not be scorned or dismissed out-of-hand. However, we need to keep it in perspective, and keep the left-brain engaged as well.
This is hard to do with the pictures we are seeing of horrified children and parents that are coming out of Newtown, CT.
The second pitfall, exacerbated by the first, is to react based upon early information. This information will often change as it is vetted, corrected, then disseminated. We should then study the information, and get to understand the ramifications before we make changes.
Sandy Hook Elementary School has suffered a horrible tragedy at the hands of a gunman for as yet undisclosed reasons. 20 children are dead, as are 6 staff members.
Pray for the victims, and let the information develop.

Attempted ‘Lynching’ No Joke Say Parents of Black Boys in Arkansas School Incident
Wynne, AR
Two students were expelled and seven suspended from Wynne High School in Wynne, Ark., but parents of two Black boys, who were victims in what parents call an attempted lynching, are furious, saying justice has not been done and their fear for the safety of their children.
Cheryl Webster said all sorts of things went through her mind but she hadn’t imagined what she was told. Some boys tried to hang Mickey, her child, and his teammate, MaKye McDaniel, with a noose during football practice.
She is furious because of the assault, incensed that school officials waited three days to notify her, and outraged because they illegally questioned Mickey without her presence or knowledge, she told The Final Call. Oddly, before she even knew what was happening, the principal and assistant principal were profusely apologizing, she recalled.
She recounted her 14-year-old son’s ordeal: On Sept. 24, another student called him to the back of the weight room. One boy lifted him up while another tried to put a noose across his head and he had to fight them off, she said. “I don’t care if you’re White or Black. What happened to my son should never have happened,” Ms. Webster declared.

Attack near School Leads to Protest against Violence
Wichita, KS
A frightening attack after school on Friday led to a protest Monday against violence at Truesdell Middle School in south Wichita.
A frightening attack after school on Friday led to a protest Monday against violence at Truesdell Middle School in south Wichita.
The attack by a large group of students left several kids with cuts and bruises.
It happened in a driveway a few blocks southeast of the school.
Rian Brown says her two 6th grade children were walking with a friend when a large group of kids chased them down.
She says her son and his friend were getting away, but the group caught up with her daughter who took punches to the face.
"The group caught up with my daughter, and they went back for her. She sustained the most injury from it," said Rian Brown, mother of two attack victims.

STOP Human Trafficking!
HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND THE DOJ
Victims of human trafficking are off the radar of most agencies in this
country. Primarily women and children, human trafficking victims are
among the most marginalized of US residents. They live in a shadow
world, overlooked by most, handicapped by lack of education, lack of
fluency in English, lack of appropriate immigration paperwork (either
because they have entered the country illegally or because their captors
have confiscated it) and a mistrust of law enforcement due to police
corruption in their home countries.
